When I was young and naive, I considered being a performer. I had the lead role in two musicals when I was in high school, and even tried out for a musical when I was attending my mega-university. I almost made the final cut (there were about 100 people who tried out), but finally decided I liked smoking weed more than juggling acting and academics.

What was the first record album or CD you ever bought. What possessed you to buy it?
