Ladies And Gentlemen, God Bless America -

The Fact That I'm Virtually Deaf. Any Woman Who's Going To Date A Rock Musician Has To Be Prepared To Repeat Herself Every 10 Seconds. My Wife Asks Me Where We Should Go For Dinner And It Sounds Like The Schoolteacher From Charlie Brown.

My First Instrument Was Actually The Trombone, But That Didn't Last Long. Soon I Was Playing Guitar In Bands From The Time I Was 11 Or 12.

I'm Big On Taking The Lady Out To Dinner. We Have Some Candlelight Romance Every Now And Then. And Our Whole Family Is Within A 6-mile Radius. It's Disgustingly Domestic. I'm Big On Costco.

A Long Time Ago, I Made A Promise To Myself: "okay, You Know What? I'm Going To Play Music, And Hopefully I'll Make Enough Money That I Can Go Back To School. Once I Make Enough Money To Put Myself Through School, That's What I'm Going To Do."

When You're Thirteen And Listening To Punk, The Aggressive Nature Of Music Can Sway You To The Dark Side.
