The music of the Clovers and Spaniels and the rest was like candy to me. I couldn't get enough; my teachers probably thought I had attention deficit disorder.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.
I was fantastically well versed by the time I left school. I had a teacher who put 'A Clockwork Orange' my way, and 'Catcher in the Rye.'
When I was younger, acting, singing and dancing was what it was all about. That's really what kept me in school because I was really naughty otherwise.
I remember learning how to play 'The Fool On The Hill' on piano when I was in maybe fifth grade.
When I was 5 or 6, I was messing around with the piano, and I listened to everything from Chopin to boogie-woogie.
I kind of feel like I didn't have much choice. The songs... the playing... those were the only things that ever really kept my attention.
I got the writing bug in the fourth grade when a poem of mine was published in the school newspaper. Music criticism came a little later, when I was in high school.
While other kids played with cars and toys, I listened to music all day. I wanted to sing it and learn it.
When I was a boy, the only thing which captivated me as much as music was the night sky.
In the end, my children put me on to Pink Floyd when they were teenagers.
