Knowledge is to certain extent a second existence.
When you're younger - duh - you don't really have the tools to deal with certain things in your life.
I'm certainly not a practicing Jew. I would never claim, 'I'm Jewish. ' That's not the first and foremost thing in my mind, as far as who I am as a person.
Even as a kid, if I would come across something cool in the record store, that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.

I'm not the kind of guy who sits around at home and writes songs. Once in a while I'll pick up a guitar and noodle around, but it's rare.
When it comes to doing my job, I keep my ego in my handbag.
I don't talk about myself in the third person, and I laugh at people who do.
Your crew is featherweight, my gunshots will make you levitate
My voice, I'm blessed to have it.
