Childhood
Back In 1983
- What he remembers most about his childhood in Connecticut:
- Watching the weather report — "I remember waking up on winter mornings, looking out my window and seeing eight inches of snow. Then Geoff would instill hope that the next day of school would be cancelled."
- Movies:
- He was very fond of "Big", and especially of "Back to the Future", the movie that got him into the guitar!
- 1983:
- Room for Squares has many references to his childhood, such as when he was 6 years old, his lunchbox, and Super Man cape.
"My memories are very boring, I assure you.. 'So John, we hear you made poopies as a child...can you tell us about that?'"
- Principal's pet:
- John use to sneak into his dad's office (Who was a principal), and steal all the confiscated walkman's.
- Teenage Years:
- When John was 16 he became apart of an exchange student program, and traveled to Japan. That is when he learned all about their culture.
- His very first job was in a supermarket, but he then went on to work in a Mobil gas station. The best squigee in the land?
