I think a lot of people assume that the years that make you into who you are happen
when you’re a teenager. And, I mean, certainly, the teenage years are really formative; I think a
lot of who I am was shaped by experiences I’ve had in the past few years. But I think that we
start being shaped into who we are well before the dark days of high school. I don’t think we
stop loving the things we loved when we were little kids, even decades later. My parents gave
me a stuffed animal when I was a baby, and I still sleep with it every night, nearly two decades
later. Similarly, the house I was raised in guided my interests. It’s thanks to my parents that I
have a collection of books on rock and roll.
