TWENTY-ONE - LIKE YOU MEAN IT - LEAD GUITAR - JACK BARAKAT


HEY, HOW'S IT GOING? WHY DON'T YOU TELL US WHO YOU ARE?
" What's up? Hey guys, it's Harrison, your favorite member of 'Like
You Mean It' here. In case you didn't already know, I play guitar
and sometimes they turn on my mic long enough so I can sing a
few lines here and there. [grins] "

" HOW'S THE TOUR GOING SO FAR FOR YOU? IT MUST BE TOUGH BEING
AWAY FROM...WHERE YOU FROM AGAIN? JUST, CAN'T BE EASY BEING
THIS FAR FROM HOME. GOTTA MISS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS? "

" Tour is always absolutely fabulous. That word always reads in
a stereotypical gay voice in my head so I have to resist saying it
out loud like that for fear of offending someone. [laughs]
We've basically been touring nonstop since we were out of high
school, so I'm used to the tour life and being away from family and
friends. We rose up from the depths of the sewers of Chicago. Not
really the sewers--more like the suburbs. But I miss it there, it's
definitely tough leaving such an awesome city behind. I've got a
pretty big family and I miss most of them. My younger brothers,
Chase and Taylor, and my little sister Olivia. And of course my mom.
I'm kind of a mama's boy, not even gonna lie. [laughs] And my
older sister Hannah too. Well, let's just say I miss everyone but
my dad and older brother and leave it at that. But friends, I've got
some at home that I miss but I've got my best and closest friends
with me here on tour. This group we're with is like a big reunion
for me because I'm close with at least one person in each band.
It's pretty awesome and I love it. "

" THAT MUST BE TOUGH, BUT HEY IT MUST BE FUN BEING HERE. NOW
WOULDN'T BE DOIN' MY JOB IF I DIDN'T ASK THIS, GOT ANY SPECIAL
IN YOUR LIFE? SOMEONE THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE? "

" ... maybe. [glances around] I've got my eye on someone at
the moment. " Someone on this tour? " Maybe. [waits a
minute before nodding
] But that's all you're getting out of me,
coppers! "

" AH, I CAN FEEL YA. ANYWAY, ALRIGHT, IF YOU COULD PICK ANY
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU, WHAT THREE WORDS AND
WHY? "

" Hm hm hm. Three words... Awesome, awesomer, and awesomest.
No? Okay.funny. Yes, I'm saying that I'm funny because I'm goddamn
hilarious. Outgoing. I have a lot of energy stored up that tends to get
released on stage, but I just enjoy being all over the place and talking
to anyone and everyone. Last one... would be loyal. I'd take a bullet
for my friends and most of my family if it ever came down to it. I don't
know what I'd do without them. They've gotten me so far and they're
the reason that I'm where I am today. "

" HA, REALLY? WELL THAT'S COOL. SO, BEING ON TOUR, WHAT
DO YOU DO FOR FUN? TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED WHILE ON
THE ROAD? "

" Video games mostly. Nick and I have this like... on-going battle
to see who can get the highest score in Halo. So far, I'm winning,
but not by much. Bastard's cheating, I tell you. Other than that,
I just like to roam around outside and talk to fans or members of
the other bands. There have been times that I've stowed away on
other buses for the night. Like... two days ago, I spent the night with
'It's Your Call' because they were having a Shrek movie marathon.
That movie's my shit, man. I play Robot Unicorn Attack and browse
YouTube an awful lot. It's probably not healthy how often I do both
of those. I also read the fan fiction our fans write about us when I'm
really bored. Some of the kids are good writers. [shrugs] I do
dramatic readings of it in the back lounge on Thursday nights while
I'm wearing my snuggie and drinking wine from a sippy cup. It's a
very classy event, not one to be missed. I also like eating. People
have to label their stuff on the bus because if they don't I will eat
it. It's a glorious thing, having a fast metabolism. "

" WHAT CAN CURRENTLY BE FOUND IN YOUR BUNK AND YOUR
SUITCASE? "

" I keep my laptop in my bunk almost all the time because I don't want
it getting mixed up with everyone else's. I've got a pillow and a blanket
that I've had since I was 2. Yeah, I've got a blankie, what of it? [laughs]
Then there's usually someone always in and out of my bed whenever Nick
doesn't want to snuggle or he's off with a lady friend. It gets lonely on
those long bus drives and I need someone to hold me. I have a necklace
that Olivia made me hanging up in there. I don't wear it because I don't
want it to break or get lost. It's my good luck charm. Suitcase is like four
t-shirts, three pairs of jeans, underwear, and then the rest is movies and
junk food. I don't bring that many clothes because I'm a fatass and would
rather have food instead. I usually steal Nick's when mine are dirty. "

" ANY TOUR RITUALS? WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN'T LEAVE
WITHOUT? "

" I do jumping jacks about half an hour before we go on stage so I can
get my adrenaline pumping. And whatever Nick says about what we do
behind the bus isn't true... I'm the one giving the hand jobs. "

" WHAT'S SOMETHING OTHERS PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU? "

" Well, I talk about sex a lot but I actually haven't had it in almost... two
years now I think. I can also speak fluent mandarin. [tries to keep a
straight face, but starts laughing
] I'm kidding. I can't speak fucking
mandarin. [shakes his head] Um... I'm actually not as dumb as most
people say I am. I have my moments. "

" THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SITTING DOWN WITH US TODAY.
ANY FINAL WORDS? "

" No problem, man. Hey fan fic writers, let me be on top occasionally. I
know I'm small, but c'mon. "
