He attended a community college, worked some odd jobs for a few years, then in his early 20s decided to go to Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO, to become a youth pastor. He's religious but not in your face about it. However, he's not that good of a researcher so he didn't know about all the rules until he was already heading there. No listening to certain radio stations (there was a list), tv stations (likewise), no movies, buying popular music, etc. He happily signed then ignored all of them because he loves music and movies. He even built his own recording studio in his campus apartment out of scrap wood and other throwaways so he could record his own songs. The one sticky point was that men had to be clean-shaven, and he always preferred a couple days' growth on his face. So he went to our small town doctor, the only Jewish guy in town, and asked him to write a note saying he had some kind of skin condition that was exacerbated by shaving. Doctor said, "Let me get this straight. You're asking me, a Jew, to lie to some Baptists for you? Okay." I visited him once while he was attending and went to his classes with him and got a lot of strange looks because I was in a t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, while they were all in ties and slacks. The weekend came, and we wanted to do something fun, but one of his college friends wanted to join us so we couldn't do movies, etc. because the guy could have narc'ed on Brett so it was off to Silver Dollar City, which I think is kept in business mainly due to the proximity of Baptist Bible College, and it's on the okay list. I learned that you could go up to just about any guy on campus and ask him what his high score is, and he would know what you're talking about and would tell you - at SDC, there's a boat ride through a long tunnel where you have light guns which you shoot at targets as you drift by, registering your score on the gun.
