With the exciting news that Michael J. Fox will be starring in the upcoming Born In The USA movie (see page eight for more on that!), the 24-year-old star of Family Ties and Back To The Future will—once again—be getting involved in rock ’n’ roll...one of his first loves.
Michael—who actually had a rock band of his own in Vancouver, Canada, where he grew up—is indeed into music in a big way. “When I was 14 or 15, I played in garage bands,’’ he says. “I was kind of a hack guitarist, which means I wasn’t good, but I was dedicated. When I started acting, I dropped the music,” he adds. One thing that brought Michael back to music was his role of Marty McFly in Back To The Future. Marty, you’ll recall, was also a struggling high-school musician in modern times who finally got his big chance to wow the crowd when he was transported back to 1955. There, he played Chuck Berry’s classic “Johnny B. Goode” at his parents’ high school prom—before the song was even written, humorously enough. Michael says that those scenes were some of his favorites in Back To The Future.
