| - Matisyahu was born Dr. Jesus Pablo Chen to Chaim and Beverly Chen in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, the home of CVS/pharmacy. Two seconds after he was born, his parents moved to Puce Plains, New York, leaving him stranded in the hospital alone. Life was difficult for little Jesus Chen. On the rough streets of Woonsocket, nobody would speak to him except for the members of Phish, who adopted the little ethnically-Mormon boy in 1982 and took him around the country to their concerts. Traveling with Phish, little Jesus Chen learned the secrets of marijuana, which continue to enlighten his music to this day. Jesus Chen was a rebellious little boy, and he tried going to school and getting good grades. This led to his being disciplined by his adopted parents in Phish -- 2 billion years (15 minutes) without the good weed. Despite such a harsh punishment, little Jesus Chen continued to have a secret hidden 4.0 grade average at every school he attended along the way. When Phish was touring in Eugene, Oregon, Jesus Chen decided that he had enough of the hippie lifestyle, and he snuck out the window of the Phish tour bus. He hitched a ride somewhere near Valley River Center, on the north side of Eugene, and stayed in the car until it reached Burns, Oregon. There, in the empty vastness of the Great Basin, where the only beings for 700 miles are bovine in nature, Jesus Chen had a vision.
