Musical Career
George started playing music when he was 14. He was inspired at a young age to play music, specifically bass guitar, when he discovered The Beatles, and more specifically Paul McCartney. He was taught how to play bass guitar at that age, and decided, once he was comfortable enough, to try to start a band. He played bass in several bands until the age of 21, when he decided to teach himself how to play drums. He switched back and forth between bass guitar and drums for a few years, depending on the band he was in. He spent the first several years (1980–1984) playing in cover bands, playing backyard parties, school talent shows, and events of this nature.

—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
