Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Puberty is an extremely traumatic process even if you don't realize it. It kind of lives with you for like 10 years.
Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.
I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined.
I actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.
When I was 13, I asked for a guitar. And that's how I really started explaining my point of view.
I picked Dad's guitar up when I was 8. It hurt to play, so I put it down and picked it back up when I was 15 and dug in. The guitar helped me come out of my shell and kind of gave me an identity at school.
I was wildly interested in puberty as a child.
Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.
I went through puberty late. I was a little, little, tiny kid. I was still growing in college.
I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.
