Fame arrived early for these young performers, yet their adult paths moved in unexpected directions.

Rock and roll has given us some amazingly poetic, profound and perfect lyrics…but it's also provided us with lyrics so clumsy they feel like they were scribbled on a napkin in the studio parking lot seconds before recording—and then they lost the napkin, panicked, and recorded whatever words they could remember.
