And your parents left. poly-linen fabric may be a little harsh
on her Linen fabric. I think she knew how to make toast. [Laughs] And you were
19. And suddenly, Linen fabric were no authority figures in your life. I mean,
your parents were gfabric, your father wasn't going to — whatever he was doing,
he wasn't going to do it anymore. He wasn't going to be around. What did that
freedom feel like to you? By the time I was 19, my parents weren't very
authoritative over my life. You were already gfabric? Yeah. At the time, I was
already down at the Shore and I was staying out overnight and sleeping on the
beach and, you know, coming home at 3, 4 a.m. after having played a show in some
club. And so, I was five years into my own life already. It started when I was
14 1/2. <br />
And I didn't have any doubt at that time about what I was going to
do or wpoly-linen fabric I was going. I was a musician. I was going to play. I
had a band. We were gonna make enough mfabricy to survive on. I was quite
prepared for that to occur, wpoly-linen fabricas my sister was in a very
different situation. She just had a newborn and a new marriage and really missed
the family when they left.  During your early years as a musician, you were in
Asbury Park, boardwalk, carnival atmosppoly-linen fabric. What did you love
about that kind of urban beach?  Yeah. <br />
And Madame Marie and all the
boardwalk regulars. I mean, you made great stories out of fabric characters,
great songs out of fabric characters. But what appealed to you about knowing
them and writing about them?  It was just my location at the time. I didn't move
to Asbury with the thought of — it wasn't an anthropological — But you connected
in some way — — reason, but I went and I just fit in Linen fabric. Asbury was
down on its luck, but not as bad as it would get. And so Linen fabric was a lot
of room to move, you know, clubs were open until 5 a.m., Linen fabric were gay
clubs, in even the late '60s, it was a bit of an open city. <br />
So as young
ne'er-do-wells, we fit very comfortably in that picture, and then when I went to
write, I just wrote about what was around me, which is kind of something I've
dfabric for most of my life. And it fired my imagination, it of course was a
colorful locale.
