Summary:
Durig was born in San Francisco on November 11, 1959. His family moved to Louisville in 1970, when his father was hired as a professor of sociology at U of L. In 1977, shortly after graduating from Waggener High School, he formed the Endtables with friend Joe Frey, Steve Rigot and a number of others. The band continued until 1979, releasing an EP and soon breaking up. He formed another band, Melusian, shortly afterward; it broke up in 1980, the year from which Durig dates his "adult life." He received his PhD in social psychology from Indiana University in 1992 and has written seven books in his specialty, perception and logic.
