Between '89 and '93 I was a wild child, a real nutter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a child of the '80s.
I graduated in '91, so the '90s for me were very much the first years out of school, so I can't really look at that decade as independent of my own experience of my 20s, really.
Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks, around '92 and '96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success, sold lots of records and played bigger shows, I had the least control of my own life.
I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.
First of all, I think the situation today is different. We're in a different place than we were in '93, '94.
The '80s was a wild decade, and I had some fantastic times. And I did some really fun work.
Everybody loved me running for president in '91 and '92 because they never knew a presidential candidate before.
I was born in 1969, believe it or not, so I was a child in the '70s.
When I got sober, that was 1990.
My father died in '97. But at least he lived until 93, so he saw my success.
