Throwback Thursday: Rocker Remembers When PS 84 Was New in the Tumultuous Year of 1963
Briefly

John French (Segall) shares a nostalgic recollection of his childhood experiences in the Upper West Side, highlighting the significant moments during his early school days that shaped his youth.
Describing his first day at PS 93, John candidly recalls misinterpreting attendance being called, proclaiming "I said 'president.' Everyone laughed at me. Great, I felt stupid on my first day!"
He reflects on a childhood mishap with a girl named Rose Soohoo when he accidentally spilled yellow paint on her dress, which led to years of tension between them.
John reminisces about the schoolyard and the wall where students were sent to bang chalk out of erasers, mentioning, "It seems I was sent there a lot!"
