[discrepancy sic], on June 30, 1958, and grew up in Bethesda; joined with songwriter Richard X. Heyman to form the Rage while studying at the University of Maryland, but he soon jumped to the new-wave band the Razz, opening for punk acts such as the Ramones and Patti Smith before releasing his solo debut, "Strange Alliance," in 1982)
