A lot of times teachers completely ruin subjects for kids. When I was eleven, I wanted to play the drums, so I signed up for lessons but the music teacher we had, whose name was John Torrenti, was a real prick sonofabitch. I tolerated him for a few lessons, then I got sick for a couple of weeks and missed my lessons. When I returned he yelled at me for not being able to keep up with the other students, so I quit. I think I’ve recorded something like eleven albums of original music at this point in my life and I can tell you it’s no thanks to that jackass. What I wonder is this: how many adults lost their appreciation or interest in music because of some idiot like John Torrenti. Hey John wherever you are, kiss my musical white ass.
