There's always a Justin Bieber. Ever since I've been around, there's always been one of him.
Tell me if this is wrong. Justin Bieber... is 100 percent like watching Vanilla Ice all over again. It's exactly the same. Well, as soon as Bieber has a hit, he'll be like Vanilla Ice.
The Majestic Theater in 1990. That was one of my first real shows where I had 300 to 400 people there.
