“I was trained at classical piano as a youngster back in PA. To rebel, I bought a drum set and played in some rock & roll bands. In college I picked up a guitar and became obsessed with practicing which led to playing guitar in indie rock bands in the mid 90's. Which led me to Los Angeles.” RocksCollegeBandGuitarPianoObsessedLos AngelesRebelYoungstersRock BandsPlaying GuitarIndie Rock Author:Jeff Cardoni

“I was influenced by the Beats because I actually just began to commit adolescence around 1955, when "Howl" and Rebel Without a Cause and a lot of other new things were popping up. (Again I'm trying to give you a finite version of this career.) And then I came under the sway of Wallace Stevens when I was in college and graduate school, and basically set as a life goal the ambition of writing third-rate Wallace Stevens. I thought I would be completely content if I was recognized at some later point in my life as a third-rate Wallace Stevens.” IfsGivingWritingTryingWould BeSchoolCausesGoalCareersCollegeAmbitionBeatsThirdsRateCommitVersionsRebelGraduatesNew ThingsAdolescenceFiniteLife GoalHowlGraduate SchoolPoppingRebels Without A Cause Author:Billy Collins
“By the time I got to college I had stopped reading books because I wanted to "be cool" and started reading books simply because I wanted to read them. I discovered heroes like Roth, King, Dahl, Shirley Jackson, Patricia Highsmith, TC Boyle, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, David Sedaris. These people weren't trying to "rebel against the literary establishment." They were trying to write great, high-quality books that were as entertaining and moving as possible.” PeopleWritingTryingBookWantedMovingReadingQualityCollegeKingsHeroRebelEstablishmentReading BooksEntertainingBeing CoolHigh QualityGaiman Author:Simon Rich
