    Joey and Charles dropped out of college to start the band.
    When asked why the Pixies broke up, Charles answered, ''I guess you have me to blame for that. Same old same old, you know? Lack of fun. Not getting along. General misery. Putting on a smiley face at the gig and things are really quiet back stage. Less joyful than it had been earlier.'
