FYI Mike, California has mountains, even in Southern California, and some times those mountains get snow before other places that usually snows. Big Bear is only 2 hours away from Newport, of course with no traffic.
Isolation? No help from daddy? Not quite. I went to NHHS (graduated same class as Steve in '95) and his day to day was a bit different than you're portraying it. First off...he was NOT the only asian dude. Not in the school, not in the town, not in the area code. 1990's in Orange County, CA the demographics were pretty set. White, Asian, Mexicans. A healthy mix of all three. there was not a single high school that was white only. White majority, sure. But it wasn't as if there were 2 asian kids in the school. A lot of the kids were asian. In terms of him pulling himself up by his own bootstraps...what a laugh. This dude never had a bad day. Never had anyone mess with him. Never had to worry about where his next chauffeur was coming from. Workhorse? Yeah when you don't have to work you can devote all your time to playing around. He had it easy. Every single person knew who he was. He'd walk around campus with a skateboard he'd tuck between his back and backpack that he never rode (couldn't ride it, just liked the look) and he was not in any way shape or form a musician. This was pre-internet. Everyone who was a musician knew who all the other musicians on campus were and what they played. Steve was not in that particular group. In fact, he wasn't in ANY creative type group. It was all look and no substance. The group he WAS in though was the 'my daddy owns Bennihana and I'm rich AF' group. Which made him a magnet for all the attention of the upper crust of the school. He was a rich kid among rich kids and they all stood in line to pretend to be his friend. Why? So they could go to his dad's restaurant for free. You weren't nice to him and the food train stopped. The whole pay-for-popularity aspect, which has been Steve's whole world, has snowballed to where he is today proving you don't have to be talented or even liked to be famous. Just have money.
