 | | Edward Joel Kowalczyk was born 28 years ago today in Lancaster, Pa. In the early '80s, he met York, Pa., residents Chad Taylor (guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass) and Chad Gracey (drums), who were in the band First Aid. |
 | | Adopting Kowalczyk as lead vocalist, they assumed a number of band names before settling on Public Affection. |
 | | The LP's songs, including "Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)" and "Pain Lies on the Riverside," were inspired by one of Kowalczyk's heroes, the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. |
