Someone sent me a tape of a Spock's album. I put it on as we were rearranging
the living room for a party. After about two minutes, Kaz looked up and said
"why are you playing Jethro Tull?" I couldn't give her any sort of logical
answer. I flipped the tape over, to play the Reef album, also taped by my
friend. The wife looked up even more annoyed, and said, "on, now it's Bad
Company?' That was the last time I played that tape.
