Did you know what you were in for when you started? Had the mania begun?It was right when One Rosetta Stone Software Time came out. It had begun, but on a much more grassroots level. When I came in, we would go to places and there would be thousands of kids, and no one knew who he was except these kids who had been following him for the last two years and really felt that ownership over him. Then it just blew up in the mainstream.Do you remember the moment when you knew that this was a phenomenon?For me, the most memorable moment was when we were in France for the first time, and we played an acoustic show. We came out onstage, and he sang One Last Lonely Girl. We opened with that song in a club in Paris, and as soon as he broke into the lyrics in French, the whole place erupted and sang every word for the next hour.Whats been your craziest moment, personally?I got married in October, and Justin came and performed with our wedding band and I played guitar. The next day, it was all over the press. Who would have ever thought that my wedding would be [like that]? Later, I was overseas in Japan and some kids were saying, Dan, mazel tov Rosetta Stone Spanish Latin, congratulations! Ive been in cars with him where kids are climbing on top of the car and, and thats scary. But for him, its exciting.
