“After 'Sports' came out in the fall of 1983, everything changed for me. Four of the album's singles became top-10 hits, and by the end of June in 1984, the album was No. 1 on the Billboard chart. It was quite a ride, and for the first time I had enough money to live the way I wanted.” WayFirstsEndsEnoughWantedFallSportsFourChangedFirst TimeAlbumsJuneHad EnoughSinglesBillboardsTop 10 Author:Huey Lewis
“The weird thing is, I used to skate in front of, like, 5,000 people and I was never nervous, but the first time I got on stage, there were four people there and I vomited.” PeopleFirstsUsedFourStageFrontsFirst TimeNervousSkatesWeird Things Author:Albert Hammond, Jr.
“I'm looking forward to Phoenix. I ran well there last year in the Nationwide Series, and it was one of the tracks I made four Sprint Cup starts at last season. In the Cup race last year, I had a good run going for it being my first time there in a Cup car, and unfortunately got damage from an accident. It's not a restrictor plate race, so this will be the first time this season that I will run a lot of laps in practice. It's also the first race for the new qualifying format, so it will be interesting to see how that works out. Overall, I just want to have a solid run in the BRANDT Chevy.” WantYearsFirstsWellsMadeRunningLastsInterestingRacePracticeFourCarFirst TimeSeasonsSeriesTrackWork OutAccidentsCupsRanDamageLast YearPlatesLooking ForwardLapFormatPhoenixSprintGoing For ItChevyQualifying Author:Justin Allgaier
“The first time I knew what I wanted to do with my life was when I was about four years old. I was listening to an old Victrola, playing a railroad song...I thought that was the most wonderful, amazing thing...That you could take this piece of wax and music would come out of that box. From that day on, I wanted to sing on the radio.” YearsFirstsWantedSongPiecesFourWonderfulListeningFirst TimeRadioBoxesFour YearsAmazing ThingsRailroads Author:Johnny Cash
“I have an older sister and my mom would dress us up identically, so in all of our pictures, we're in these giant pink, poufy outfits. I remember when I was four or five, we all went to a theme park and I had to go to the bathroom but couldn't hold it in anymore. Let's just say, I had to buy a brand new outfit! But that moment was the first time I remember ever wearing something different from my sister at an event. It was my breakthrough moment when I decided I was never going to match my sister again!” FirstsDifferentMomentsRememberFiveFourEventsMomFirst TimeDecidedDressesMy MomBrandsGiantsParksThemeThat MomentMy SisterBathroomRemember WhenBreakthroughBrand NewOutfitsOlder SisterTheme Parks Author:Analeigh Tipton
“The first time you went to the gym, to be trained and worked out, there'd be about four or five wrestlers, they'd take you to heavy calisthenics and then they beat the tar out of you... after you got tired. If you came back the next day they'd do the same thing. After about four days of you surviving this punishment, then maybe they might show you how to wrestle. That was to teach respect.” IfsFirstsShowsMightNextTeachFiveFourBeatsFirst TimeTiredHeavyPunishmentGymNext DaySurvivingWrestlerCalisthenics Author:George Steele
