In his late teens he learned he
had a knack for playing a guitar
and singing rock songs.
He formed a rock band with two
high school friends, and after
high school they played in local
bars and wrote their own music.
A year later, they had a hit record
and toured the country, playing
before thousands of cheering fans.
He was high on the fame, the fans,
and the women, but after a couple
of years and no more hit records,
the fame high waned, and he got
tired of always being on the road.
He quit the band and went to work,
managing one of his father’s pet stores,
never missed his semi-rockstar fame.
