The first song I fell in love with
I would sit by the radio and record songs on an old Dictaphone that I found under my grandfather’s desk. I spent the summer listening over and over to I Fought the Law by the Clash. Even through a Dictaphone, it sounded like a building exploding.
The first single I bought
Convoy by CW McCall for $1 from Bradlees discount store in Connecticut, and listened to it 40 times in a row. I think it was at that point my mom thought: “He’s both going to be a musician and an addict.”
The song I do a karaoke
I take pride that I’ve never done the same karaoke song twice. My Way by Frank Sinatra wasn’t my finest moment. Nor was In Da Club by 50 Cent. At least my Bust a Move by Young MC wasn’t as terrible as it could have been.
