David Senra

And he describes this in such an incredible way.

And this is when his life really begins.

His life begins when he sees Elvis Presley perform for the very first time on TV.

Bruce calls Presley a human earthquake.

And so he says,

I don't know what his thoughts were.

I don't know whether he thought about the broader implications of his actions.

I do know this.

He lived a life he was driven to live and brought forth the truth that was within him and the possibilities within us.

How many of us can say that we committed all of ourselves to something?

I sat there transfixed in front of the television, my mind on fire.

The next day, I convinced my mom to take me down to this small store.

There, with no money to spend, we rented a guitar.

I took it home, opened its case, smelled its wood, still one of the sweetest and most promising smells in the world.

I felt its magic, and I sensed its hidden power.

And it is very shortly after that he realizes he is different from other people.

His response to things is almost always different.

This is in the middle of Beatlemania, and this is what he says.

I didn't want to meet the Beatles.

I wanted to be the Beatles.
