"I think every teenage boy falls in love with Led Zeppelin at the same time in their life, but it was always the people I grew up with who inspired me most, people like Jim, songwriters that were so amazing. It was so weird to be 15 years old and have these guys who were the same age who were into music. That inspired me more than anything I could buy in a record store."
