Growing up, I remember the 'Cheers' finale and 'M*A*S*H' and all these amazing finales, and I remember them being very, very important.

I remember when I was growing up. My great wish was to understand who I was and how I fit in the world.

My family had a business where they worked with gravestones, and I remember growing up and playing in cemeteries like it was a normal playground.

Oak, granite,
Lilies by the road,
Remember me?
I remember you.
Clouds brushing
Clover hills,
Remember me?
Sister, child,
Grown tall,
Remember me?
I remember you.

As long as I can remember, growing up we had a guitar around our house, and I was always plucking on it.

When I was growing up, I don't remember being told that America was created so that everyone could get rich. I remember being told it was about opportunity and the pursuit of happiness. Not happiness itself, but the pursuit.
