Description:

ALISON “AL” ELIZABETH DAUGHTRY, 18; SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA; BROWN UNIVERSITY INCOMING FRESHMAN, CLASS OF 2020, ON WHAT EXCITED SOMEONE SO YOUNG ABOUT AN OPAL & NEV REUNION: It’s really cool. I mean, I know he’s a legend and a great pop songwriter, but I actually didn’t know much deep about her until I went on my campus visits. Brown threw this welcome weekend where they had the student organizations set up in an auditorium to hand out information, and this girl I saw at the Black Lives Matter booth had on a T-shirt with that old photo of them on it. I was thinking to myself, Hey, that’s “Damn it, Becky, get it together!” Why is she riding on top of Nev Charles? [Covering her face with her hands] I know, I know! I thought it was totally random or, like, aj oke? But anyway, I liked the shirt a lot so I googled it on my phone trying to find it. And then when the results came up I was like, Whaaaaaat? I called my aunt because she loves Nev so much, and I go, “Did you know Nev Charles started out totally punk?” and she was like, Derrrr.
