Timeline

1951

Frederick William Schneider III (born July 1, 1951) is an American singer and frontman of the rock band the B-52's, of which he is a founding member.

Schneider is well known for his sprechgesang, which he developed from reciting poetry over guitars.

Frederick William Schneider III was born on July 1, 1951, in Newark, New Jersey, and lived in Oceanport, New Jersey, after moving there from Belleville, New Jersey.

He has said that his musical influences included "Halloween songs and nutty Christmas songs", along with Motown.

After graduating from Shore Regional High School, he attended the University of Georgia, where he wrote a book of poetry for a class project.

Schneider said that his mother always knew more about him than he knew about himself, and that he came out of the closet while she was vacuuming.

His mother replied, "Oh I know, Freddie", and continued vacuuming.

Schneider's reaction was, "It's like, well, OK. I guess I'll go back outside and smoke some pot."
