Bass said he grew up poor in Houston's Fifth Ward. His parents divorced when he was 10 and he went to live with his dad. “I guess I cramped his style,” he said. “There was a lot of pressure. He dogged me out a lot: ‘You never amount to nothing, you ain't about this or you ain't about that.' ” Bass said he enlisted in the Army and deployed to Vietnam in 1969. He returned to the U.S. a year later, pained by post-traumatic stress and disillusioned by the prejudice he says was within his unit.
