...mother was sickly, very sickly, with cataracts on her eyes, diabetes, heart trouble. Name it, she had it. I played hooky a lot. I wasn't on drugs or nothin', so she didn't care. In junior high, I told my mother I didn't want to go to school anymore. The school was going to throw me out anyway. They said I was taking space. And I couldn't read, I couldn't spell.

"Hit the balloons," said Schuman. As 10,000 of them-red, white and blue-rose into the darkening sky, the awed crowd waved tiny American flags and swayed to the music.
