Early Life
Stephen Arnold was born in Dallas in the early 1950s. Arnold discovered a passion for music at an early age whilst strumming his guitar in a junior high version of The Beatles. Most famous for its petroleum industry, Dallas was not the kind of environment for a 22-year-old who dreamt of forming the next Beatles so in 1974 – after a couple of stints as a singing waiter and an ill-fated gig in Las Vegas, Arnold, at the age of 22, headed to Los Angeles seeking his fame and fortune.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“... there is no point in being realistic about here and now, no use at all not any, and so it is not the nineteenth but the twentieth century, there is no realism now, life is not real it is not earnest, it is strange which is an entirely different matter.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
