The funny thing is, even for some music this Rolling Stones guide didn't like, Zi was like: That's right down my alley and I would go down to the record store and special order it.

LMAO

*Although my copy was blue.

Where the hell were you in 1982?

Now that you mention it I did take some advice from Hit Parader

Well, I don't think my generation is superior as far as morals or accomplishments or something like that.

And any given period has its pros and cons, for sure.

But the digital age has fundamentally changed society.

As a general rule, kids are micromanaged and supervised to an extent that just didn't previously happen.

A combination of fear of crime, perhaps. And the ability of technology, especially smart phones to allow it.

Although this has been a long term trend.

[One of my cousins got on a genealogy kick. One of my great whatevers grandparents at the age of 17 and 16 were running a Kansan farm ****ing miles from nowhere, fresh from NYC, fresh off Ellis Island, no family nearby...]

I don't think I would be very happy growing up in the current micromanagement. Although if that was all I knew, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Technology has its up side. But if I could do my childhood over again, I sure wouldn't choose the present time.

I was in basement listening to 60's Psychedelic. And some prog rock.

First edition, 1979.

Where were you?

Sitting around a bonfire cranking up Black Sabbath and watching 9 out of 10 girls getting turned off by it but that 1 she was a lot of fun

Not for indoor shooting in the basement. If there are it has to be a rarity.

Oh, if there were girls around...

I was playing Cars music and serving Long Island Teas...

The cars. You just can't duplicate the greatness of that era.

I still have a copy of this book, and still refer to it once in a while.

I shot almost exclusively in the basement in one of those trap ranges. My favorite target was a dime hanging from a string.

Discovering new music was harder back then I had basically 2 choices either head up to the city to seventh heaven and take my chances on albums that looks cool or wait till Saturday night and listen to the show called metal shop I believe it was on ky102?

I loved Metal Shop and always recorded it and then dubbed the songs I liked onto another tape later.

That seems like Calamity Jane level shooting.
