Nov 26, 2025 at 10:47 AM I was under the impression for many years that “The Kids” was one of those songs post-SSLP but pre-MMLP, sort of from the “original MMLP” batch of songs. But Jeff Bass said in an interview that The Kids was specifically made for the “cleaner” version of MMLP that didn’t have Kim on the tracklist, to replace it. Which implies it was actually made during the later stages of MMLP, maybe one of the last songs recorded. What do you think?
