If he's a packrat, it'll be on some shelf when he's 35, still perfectly playable. While that's sort of neat, I think back to some of the absolute crap I had at that age (e.g., at least one Dio album, not to mention a Village People album from a few years earlier) and am thankful it's all gone. Except, I do miss my completist Pink Floyd collection sometimes.Boldly Serving Up Wheat Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804188398018016592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-72759086967045451382007-07-30T14:02:00.000-04:002007-07-30T14:02:00.000-04:00i liked speed metal back when i was a youngster, t...i liked speed metal back when i was a youngster, too. i didn't get into Zeppelin until i was almost out of high school; no Beatles until i was out of college; and i didn't give a fig for the Stones until i was in my 30s.

If this is the case, Freddie will return to this music in his own good time. Some of my favorite stuff is music my parents played when I was growing up (even - gasp! - classical). While they probably questioned my taste when I listened to the Clash and Pysch Furs, we agreed in the end on the sublime effect of Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" and the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You."Kevin WOlfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092445616252796353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-86003621666216620972007-07-29T21:12:00.000-04:002007-07-29T21:12:00.000-04:00I felt similar distress when my younger son flunke...I felt similar distress when my younger son flunked the Civil War last school year in favor of sculpting his six-pack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-78437708919581818622007-07-29T19:59:00.000-04:002007-07-29T19:59:00.000-04:001.
