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:
“I got a little secretarial job after college, but I thought of it as a prelude. Education, work, whatever you did before marriage, was only a prelude to your real life, which was marriage.”
—Bonnie Carr (c. early 1930s)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
