~~~~~~~~~okay okay, i'll play. i resist, because i
don't really remember -- as someone else said -- and
as i recall, my stuff is pretty lame. the 45's i
remember playing with my sister, i presume came from
my parents? cause we didn't buy them. although why my
parents had these records is beyond me, cause my dad's
interest i swear stops at 1965, and my mom was more
into neil diamond and kenny rogers. so. i remember
'night fever' by the bee gees, and 'just the two of
us' by now, i realize bill withers, but i distinctly
remember as a kid, thinking grover washington, jr. was
a hilarious name. 'just the two of us' got the most
spins at 78 rpms. we had a lot of kids records (john
jacob jingleheimer schmidt, mr. rogers, sesame street
collections) and a 45 that to this DAY, i can't really
believe existed, but was actually a fave of ours...
something to the effect of 'jump down, turn around,
pick a bale of cotton'?????? what the fk!?? other
than that, we had a 45 of 'i will follow him' that i
loved. and oh yeah!! 'lollipop' !! i assume these
were just hand-me-downs from my p's. i wonder if they
still have them.
then. music bought on my own. here's the deal. i do
not actually recall the actual *purchase* of these
cassettes, but... i assume because i owned them, that
i asked for them in the kmart or target one day and we
got them. or maybe for christmas? we didn't have a
lot of money, and i didn't get an allowance, so...??
thriller by michael jackson. born in the usa, bruce
springsteen. whatever chicago was big circa 1985.
with 'you're the inspiration,' 'hard to say i'm sorry'
and 'walk away' on it. it might have even been a
greatest hits. so, i was an 80's kid (note, kid), but
i just wasn't cool.
