In high school, all my friends' older brothers had these cars. I had a number of friends whose brothers collected Dodges and Plymouths and some of the coolest cars I've ever seen when I was a kid. I was just flabbergasted.

In the early Seventies, I had shoulder-length hair, bell-bottom pants, love beads and shirts that laced up at the front. But then I smartened up.

One thing that was really dope for me was that my dad had a '78 Corvette, '78 or '76 Corvette all my life. It always needed to be fixed up. I remember it's just been sitting in the driveway for years, and I got it fixed from top to bottom for his birthday.

I seem to disappoint people a bit. They want the full regalia - but I don't walk around in a corset the whole time.

In early '57, I bought a Fender Telecaster.

It wasn't until I was 18, when I was graduating high school, that I went and bought a guitar on a whim.

I had the '80s hair and braces and a 6-3 frame as a 16-year-old.

I was a high school throw-out.

I never had a car in high school, and I never had a car in college. I wasn't much of a run-around.
