By Hank Leukart | August 19, 1999

In an interview with The Dartmouth yesterday, 30-year-old Wedren did not try to hide his failures or life hardships and above all, he shouted out his love for music. "When I am broken up with my band and broken up with my girlfriend -- when I don't know who's going to pay for dinner -- the only thing I have is my music to believe in," he explained.
