Early Life
Growing up with his parents, sister and brother in Houston, Texas, Keen was interested in music, sports, movies and writing. He and his best friend from second grade, Bryan Duckworth, had many adventures growing up together. Some of those adventures have been, in part, inspiration for a few of Keen's songs. Keen graduated from Sharpstown High School in 1974 and is considered one of their most notable alumni along with sports figures and educators.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
