Yeah, no, that's not really a job for a grown-up. You want to have a real job, you know. Because I think, I don't know what it's like now, but certainly back in the 70s, I don't think anybody would encourage you to go into show business or go into the arts.

But I mean, you know, it just seemed like an unreasonable thing for a kid to want to be when he grew up. And he said, well, look, you like design. You're good in math. You love this drafting class you just had. You should be an architect. And I kind of said, well, if you think so, OK. So it seemed like it was like the adult choice.

It was something that it made sense for me to do to, you know, grow up and be an architect.

Yeah, and it's not an easy major. I went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and they have a great architecture school. But, I mean, they called it, the students called it architorture because, I mean, they worked us hard. You know, we'd be up in those labs literally all night long, you know, but before a big project was due, we probably, you know, we didn't sleep. You know, it was a lot of work.

And I'm no stranger to hard work, but to be that involved in something that I didn't really have a passion for, it was tough on me. Because other people in my class, they lived and breathed it, and they loved the form following the function, and it was just something that meant a lot to them. And it didn't mean a lot to me.

I mean, I had more fun every Saturday night doing the Weird Al show on my campus radio show. I looked forward to that. That's what I lived for. And the rest of the week in the architecture lab, that was just like, just get me to Saturday night.
