My big awakening happened when I was fourteen ... and listened to Aerosmith's Rocks. It hit me like a fucking ton of bricks. I sat there listening to it over and over ... I remember ... knowing that my life had changed. Now I identified with something.

That's a wonderful side effect of leather pants: when you pee yourself in them, they're more forgiving than jeans.
