I could google all this shit, but it's better to try and remember. Recapture stuff.

Hey Hippy, here's a memory jogger I bet, where were you the first time you heard "Don't bogart that joint"?

 That would be the first time I heard the soundtrack to "Easy Rider". I had become "experienced" around May 69 and was morphing to a Hippie (ran away at 15).  Returned home, and there was a professor of Sociology at SUNY-Brockport who had rented a little house not far from me. I and a couple other local kids used to hang around there and occasionally smoke a bit. Heard that and "Woodstock" for the first time there. This was around late summer 1970, after I had been returned home after taking off again and hitching my way to AZ, then to the US/Canada border at Blaine, Washington. Interesting journey. I remember peaking on the continental divide near Pike's Peak after getting out of jail for hitchhiking. Had fasted for 3 days. Two German freaks turned me on to some Czech stuff.

Wow....and they said that stuff would kill your memory, apparently not huh? All I recalled was it was probably the first time I picked up a guitar, of course it took another 30 years to actually learn how to play one...lol.

When my mom and her then boyfriend Marky rode around in the car and had me in the backseat, they'd listen to a lot of K-ROQ. And the popular song those days was Nine Inch Nails' "Fuck you like an Animal". That, and most of Nirvana, and Sublime...that was what music was to me as a child.

"You know that you are old when you find about 100 vinyl records you had stored"

On the 'flip side', you know you're a music lover when your 2K+ album collection is in your listening room and you still play them! Yes, they can be a pain in the ass to care for, but Lps have a warmth, a reality, a satisfaction to them that only the best produced hi-def digital formats are now approaching.

No matter how you "slice" it, digital audio is just that, finely sliced samples of music while analog is continuous. But then, I'm a music freak and a stereo geek, your mileage may vary.
