<p>sense yeah very basic</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>the age of 17. so from</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:29</time>
<p>1969 to 1981 because he's born in 1963</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:34</time>
<p>March 15th 1963. so he does most of his</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:38</time>
<p>high school there and everything and he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>was kind of rebuilt</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:47</time>
<p>um since he's lived there but we just</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:49</time>
<p>kind of stood outside there and yeah we</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:50</time>
<p>found his house we found his old high</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:52</time>
<p>school yeah so we go to his high school</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:53</time>
<p>so he went to Mechanicsburg Area High</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:56</time>
<p>School</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:57</time>
<p>and he graduated he's class of 1981. and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:01</time>
<p>it's at that time he puts together a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:03</time>
<p>band and it's called Paris that's right</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:06</time>
<p>and he gets some guys from high school</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:08</time>
<p>um Ricky rocket and Bobby doll so now</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:12</time>
<p>where were they from Mechanicsburg as</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:15</time>
<p>well yeah that area yeah they were from</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:16</time>
<p>the general area and then another guy</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:18</time>
<p>too who eventually will leave</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:21</time>
<p>to come back to Mechanicsburg from LA</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:23</time>
<p>and that's when CC</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:25</time>
<p>will step in okay and so they they he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:29</time>
<p>was a guitarist the guitarist where they</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:31</time>
<p>have this huge it's one of those things</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:33</time>
<p>that it's where the two people can't get</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:36</time>
<p>along but they make magic together right</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:39</time>
<p>so I think it's that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:41</time>
<p>drama that you know that anxiety that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:45</time>
<p>you feel with each other can be like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:47</time>
<p>amazing and can also be</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:49</time>
<p>terrifying it's like riding a wild horse</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:52</time>
<p>you just kind of like hang it on while</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:54</time>
<p>you're hanging on it's like man that's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:56</time>
<p>incredible yes until someone gets [ __ ]</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:59</time>
<p>off yeah and then it can be toxic yeah</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:01</time>
<p>um</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:02</time>
<p>so and then it's so it's 1983 so they</p>
<p></p>
