Nah. My mother, bless her heart, she did try to put me in lessons, but the second I started aping Jerry Lee Lewis she pulled me right out.
Besides, I realized quick that I was more into curating music, not making it myself.

[Hard not to be curious. Or get in a bit of a worry. Don't be alarmed, but it seems like some of these people have a bunch of terrible shit going on. Imagine!]
Close! I was a radio DJ. I was the main feature the biggest rock station in Los Angeles.
It's always been that way for as long as I can remember so.
