Summary of Stevie Van Zandt's Unrequited Infatuations

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 I had a record player in my room when I was a kid, and I would listen to it over and over again until it became a part of me. Rock and Roll was the second generation able to play records in private, and it was up to us to decide what we wanted to hear.

#2 I was extremely religious as a child, and I regularly went to Sunday School. I was always a little slower than the other kids, so my ecstasy didn’t immediately trigger curiosity. I wanted to know who was making the music.

#3 I never remember my father ever having any conversations with me about his life. I only knew that he had died young, and that he had turned down a job with the New York Giants because it didn’t pay enough.

#4 I had a lucky childhood. I was too small, but I was faster and more fearless than most kids. I hated being a kid, and I wanted to be who I was going to be and get on with it.

#1

I had a record player in my room when I was a kid, and I would listen to it over and over again until it became a part of me. Rock and Roll was the second generation able to play records in private, and it was up to us to decide what we wanted to hear.

#2

I was extremely religious as a child, and I regularly went to Sunday School. I was always a little slower than the other kids, so my ecstasy didn’t immediately trigger curiosity. I wanted to know who was making the music.

#9

The Rolling Stones were the first punk band. They
