I listened to an episode of WTF (dislike Maron but enjoy him as an interviewer) with Huey Lewis and it was WILD. He was apparently going to become an engineer and had a full ride to MIT and was basically a genius but his parents were hippies and DEMANDED that he travel the world with no money for 1 year before entering college. While in Morocco he was broke, doing drugs and playing harmonica on the street for money when he decided to be a musician instead.
