Walter's Story
Hey! I know what I was then but within 2 years I became the hippest person in the Ridgewood/Glendale area. I had long hair by 62 & was busy talking England. Everyone thought I was crazy until the Beatles hit the States & then I became a prophet. Yeah people, I did things no one had thought of or as an old friend's sister recently said to me, "You didn't follow styles & trends, you created them.". By 66 I was hanging in the Village & having a blast, in & out of groups, Joey Ramone was my drummer in one....wish he'd...Expand for more
said he could sing. Met everybody who was anybody. Dropped the old R.C.C. Oh, yeah, came out as gay....that surprise anyone? Actually it surprises a lot of people now since I don't do stereotypes & won't take crap from anyone. Still rock 'n' roll & have a couple of groups for different styles of music. Hey! Almost forgot....I never could stand my name so I had it legally changed to Brian, as suggested by a friend since I had a big time thing for Brian Jones. Just hit 70 last week but in my head I'm still 17.
