So I went down to Creative Artists Agency, which became CAA, but it was, they had an office in Chicago, and somehow I got,

figured out where it was and I called and they set up a meeting with me.

So here I am.

about 16, 17 years old, I go walking into the CA office holding a giant TEAC four-track tape machine.

These guys must have looked at me like, this kid is out of his frickin' mind.

But on that four-track was a... On that demo, we played a song called Bluebird by Buffalo Springfield.

Stills wrote.

And this guy heard it, and he goes, I'm gonna give you an inside scoop.

There's a band that's being formed right now with...

a guy from Buffalo Springfield, a guy from The Byrds, and a guy from The Hollies.

And I'm like, those are my three favorite fricking bands ever, you know?

With those first four Byrds albums.

I mean, I had a Rickenbacker 12.

I had an ES-335, my first real guitar.

And when I heard Mr. Tambourine Man, dude, I traded it for a Rickenbacker 12, which I still have.

I wish I had that.

That's the only guitar that I've ever owned that I don't have still.

Yeah.

I sold that one.

But that was the vibe of my demos, yeah.
