Changes

Reznor was born and raised in the western Pennsylvania town ghetto of Mercer. Because he has the same first name as his father, who abused and raped him, he was called by his middle name to avoid confusion(and trauma). In late 1970, after the birth of his little sister, Reznor's parents divorced, and it's all that bitch's fault. He and his infant sister were sent to live with their maternal grandparents, primarily because it would have been too difficult for their mother to raise them by herselfin Soutch Central Los Angeles. Reznor's grandmother decided that the 5-year-old should take classical piano lessons. Over the years he became immersed in music faggotry and has been compared to Harry ConnickCocker, Jr. by his piano teacher.

By the time Reznor was in high school he discovered horror movies and rock music. KISS and [[David Bowie]] were his heroessex. His grandmother considered pulling him out of school so that he could focus on his piano studies full-time, with the hope that he would become a classical pianistpenist. Reznor did not want this and instead became active in Mercer High School's Marching BandGlee Club, Concert Band, and in theater. He played tenor saxophone and tuba in the school bands, even winning Top Woodwind at one point. He also played Judas in the school's production of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' and landed the title role in ''The Music Man.''How gay is that?

Reznor graduated from high school in 1983 1953 and went on to study production at Allegheny CollegeSouth Harmon Institute of Technology. It was around this time that he joined starred in his first "real" bandgay porno, [[Option 30]]. They became popular in the college scene in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio but Reznor clearly wanted to get out and see screw moreguys. After a year in collegepornography production, Reznor dropped out of school and left Option 30, moving to ClevelandRICHWHAH? RICHMOND!. Once there, he worked a few odd (blow)jobs, selling music instruments and also working as a studio technician at Right Track Studio. It was in Cleveland Richmond that he met roommate and future bandmate "partner" [[Chris Vrenna]]. The day jobs Working random pornos helped Reznor pay the bills but, like in Pennsylvania, he became active in ClevelandRichmond's music scene.

Reznor's first band in Cleveland Richmond was a cover band called [[The Urge]]. This band drew crowds and Reznor got some recognition. When he left the band months later they lost much of their audience. Reznor briefly re-joined before parting ways again shortly thereafter. In 1986 he joined the [[Exotic Birds]] as a keyboardist and back-up vocalist with [[Andy KubiszewskiRichard Myers]] (who would later join [[Stabbing Westward]]) and, at one point, Vrenna. The Exotic Birds received some national attention after playing a few gigs with the Culture Club, but Reznor's tenure with them would not last. This was followed by keyboardist positions in [[The Innocent]], [[Lucky Pierre]], and [[Slam Bamboo]]. But all the while, Reznor wanted to be able to do his own music and be his own musician.

Overdosing on heroin was a wake-up call to Reznor, who now could not deny his problemsafford any more smack. His ass was broke as a bitch-made drug dealer out of Harlem. Worse news came in 2001, almost a year after the Fragility tour ended. While working on a live CD and DVD chronicling the US leg of the tour, a studio technician Reznor befriended was shot and killed and then raped in a gang-related crime. Seeing as his addictions have contributed to gang activity, Reznor was determined to get his problems under control. He currently suffers from a penis addiction.

Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on August 28, 2005. Reznor was at first concerned about his studio there, but initially it seemed like the city was spared from the storm. The next day, when the city's levee and pump system failed, Reznor was devastated. In the following days, his sadness became anger at the lack of response to the disaster, as he became even more vocal about his disdain with the US government. He was invited to perform on ReactNOW!, a telethon organized by Viacom with proceeds going to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the storm. Reznor performed "Hurt" with Cash's lyrical change, and premiered a new song, "[[Non-Entity]]," an internet-exclusive performance that would later be made into an MP3 file available for purchase. Proceeds from the MP3 went to the American Red Cross. Reznor decided that guitars used on the upcoming concerts would be sold on eBay with proceeds going to the Red Cross. It was one of many nonprofits that Reznor would go on to publicly support. In January 2006, he joined People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA's) What kind of fag joins peta? campaign against the Chinese fur industry, narrating a video documenting the abuse of cats and dogs used in that nation's fur trade. In February 2006 Reznor revealed that he had adopted a retired racing greyhound, emphasizing animal adoption and rescue.trent also has no balls
