I was born in Evanston, Illinois. I spent my elementary and part of my junior high school years in a D.C. suburb. And then I spent my high school years in Minnesota. And then I spent my college years in Colorado. And then I spent some time living in China. And then I spent three years in Vermont before moving down to Nashville.

My middle school years were defined by memorizing every single word off 'License to Ill' and 'Paul's Boutique.'

My high school years were fun and frustrating, typical of the teen years. The most important accomplishment was meeting my wife, Ruth.

Throughout my high school years, I was very quiet, I didn't have many friends. I distanced myself from a lot of people.

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

I'm happy to be thought of as cool, but I never was cool. Everyone thought I was this complete moron and complete dork for the majority of my school years.

I moved from Minnesota to Las Vegas when I was 13, so I spent my high school years there and did some things I'm not proud of.

In my grammar school years back in the 1920s I used my ten-cents-a-week allowance for Saturday matinees of Douglas Fairbanks movies. All that swashbuckling and leaping about in the midst of the sails of ships!

I was lucky enough to go to boarding school for my high school years, and I had all the resources that I possibly could needed - squash courts and every book you ever would have wanted, every art supply.
