Joe Jackson was born on August 11, 1954, in
Burton-on-Trent, England, but grew up in the South Coast
naval port town of Portsmouth. An awkward, skinny,
asthmatic child, he joined a violin class (aged 11) in
order to escape from school sports, and soon fell in love
with music. He claims that this saved his life.
Pretty soon Joe switched to piano and started to compose.
His teenage musical hero was Beethoven, but he also loved
jazz and rock, and by age 16 he was playing piano gigs,
trying to entertain drunken sailors and skinheads in local
pubs, or diners in a Greek restaurant. By age 18, he was
playing clubs, discos and naval bases in bands with
embarassing haircuts and embarassing names ('Edward Bear,'
'The Misty Set'). He also won a scholarship to study

Review about Joe Jackson Grow Up? Not Me | Reviewer: Steve
------ About the song Nineteen Forever performed by Joe Jackson
A classic Joe Jackson song with that catchy beat and full of melodic hooks, this anthem to remaining young has a bittersweet air to it...JJ looks through tinted glasses at the 9 to 5 crowd who have "sold out" and prefers to dance the night away. But in phrases such as "only my mirror sees me crying", it becomes obvious that our hero knows that he can't avoid aging, he can just ignore it. Add the not-so-subtle drug reference makes it seem, well.....autobiographical? Like most of "Blaze of Glory", this tune stays with you, even if you only get to be 19 once.
great song | Reviewer: E
