“When I was a teenager, working towards dropping out of high school to starting to tour with bands, I'd drive around in my VW Bug every morning before school, very stoned listening over and over to Zeppelin. This song got to me because it just seemed mystical. There is something about those Celtic tunings that almost sounds Eastern. Somehow it would sweep me up into my own little trance-like state, like Sting with those shamans in the Amazon. But all I had was a bong and a Led Zeppelin cassette.” LittlesStatesSchoolSongSoundMy OwnMorningListeningBandHigh SchoolStartingTeenagerEvery MorningMysticalEasternBugsDroppingAmazonTranceCelticZeppelinsTuningCassettesDropping OutBongs Author:Dave Grohl

“I graduated high school in 1989, and there was no alternative rock radio, and there wasn't really good college radio you could get on a car stereo. Once you get a car at that age, you're spending all the time you can away from home, sometimes just driving around aimlessly. Listening, or not even listening, but subconsciously soaking up this classic rock barrage.” SometimesHomeAgeSchoolRocksCarCollegeListeningHigh SchoolRadioSpendingDrivingAlternativesClassicAway From HomeSoakingClassic RockGood CollegeAlternative Rock Author:Craig Finn

“I would go into my three different sisters' rooms in the early-mid '70s and they had very specific different tastes in music. I specifically remember lying on my different sisters' bedroom floors and listening to their record collections. And "Starship Trooper" was one of my sister Nancy's favorite songs and favorite album. Music is so defining for me. In the late '70s and early '80s, I worked in radio. When I was in high school, I worked at two different radio stations.” DifferentSchoolRememberLyingSongListeningMusic IsHigh SchoolMy SisterBedroomFavorite Song Author:Thomas Haden Church
