Anyone who hasn't checked out the history of this awesome dude should definitely read up on it!

A quick (and very abridged) overview; he was born "Marx" but started going by "Max" in his early years. Was around during a very war torn time in Europe. Wikipedia says one of his earliest memories is troops marching during the Prusso-Danish war. He was also very musically talented. Had proficiencies in like six instruments, and even was a skilled singer!
