....and speaking of opinions, lets look at things in a different perspective....

This from an article:

\"Inevitably, music played a large part in the creation of that mystique. In 1958, Bob (along with LeRoy Hoikkala on drums, and Monte Edwardson on guitar) formed The Golden Chords, a well-drilled group that rehearsed in the Zimmerman family garage, and played at school pep rallys, and also at a self-promoted \"Rock Hop\" in Duluth.

More notoriously, in 1956, Bob played at a school talent show with a band comprising Larry Fabbro, Chuck Nara and Bill Marinac. Bob, as he does in concert today, played keyboards. The response was mixed.

\"We all had to go,\" remembers Mick Dwyer. \"We were all assigned seats. He was singing a Little Richard tune - the principal pulled the curtain on him.\"

\"I remember the time he played on the stage and the kids kind of laughed at him,\" says Sharon Kepler. \"People play that up a lot. But you have to remember that we were teenage kids and at that time were not used to that screaming and pounding on the piano type of music. People claim that's what made him bitter, but I don't think it was. He was never treated differently to any other classmate.\"\"
