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:
“Our bad neighbor makes us early stirrers,
Which is both healthful and good husbandry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
