Randy Stonehill Quotes

I was raised in an agnostic home. It was an intellectual atmosphere. My parents did their best to be open. Then again, when you live with someone you catch their attitudes and you hear their conversations about the things they heard on the news and about the church and the state and all of that. You can't help but be prejudiced by all of that. My father grew up in Judaism. When he was 16 he sort of abandoned the faith. He said that it was all ritual and he didn't think that God heard him. His parents were not really dedicated Jews. They sort of liked God when things were going well and they didn't like God when things weren't going well with their business. So that wasn't a very good example for my father. He just walked away from all of that.

When I was ten I began playing guitar and before that I always had dreams of having a folk trio or something. I was singing folk songs and Harry Belafonte sort of calypso stuff when I was four and five. After I started to play guitar, I had my first romantic heart throb and I started writing. That was at 13. I got into some rock and roll bands in high school. Really it was after I saw the Beatles. I saw them on television when I was twelve and I knew that that was what I wanted to do.
