I was born an Air Force brat and lived in a dozen states before I graduated high school.
On the WHAT I can say about me, for those who feel moved by my work: I’ll give it a quick go. We like to feel connected.Īnd that was my answer, at least as to the WHY. Again, why? Who the hell knows? We’re all just people. Through the years, I found myself reading about writers I’d enjoyed, historical figures I’d admired, politicians who weren’t dipshits, and business leaders who’d built great companies. It made me want to know them through more than just their music. Why? Because those musicians had created something that was deeply personal, passionate, and wonderfully emotional, and they’d shared it with the world. As with most teens, music’s power seduced me, and as I listened, I found myself admiring the albums' cover art (yeah, I’m old enough that I used to by LP’s) and I found myself reading about the singers and guitar players and drummers in the liner notes. When I think about these questions, I recall lying on my bed back in high school, headphones muffed over my ears, heavy metal blasting through my head. Why would anybody want to know anything about me? What about me is remarkable enough to tell? Just trying to imagine presenting the highlights of ME sets off alarm bells in my head.
