The School Systems At My Childhood Had Enough Money Or Enough Parent Involvement That They Felt Like Learning Music And Songs, And Exploring The Whole Pop Or Classical Canon, Were Just As Important As Algebra Or Biology.

Well, In Some Ways I Had Sort Of The Opposite Experience Of Other People That Are Sort Of Dreaming Of Being In A Rock Band. I Was Dreaming Of Like Corporate Lunches And Just Like, And I'm Not Really Joking. Like The Whole Idea To Me Was Really Appealing.
