Oh my gosh, that is the greatest story ever!!!
Can you listen to it now?
I so OD'd on Surrender (my intro to them) that by the time I got Heaven Tonight, I started kinda tiring of it. I still liked it, but to this day it lost some of the original flavor it had for me.
To this day, their debut album is my all time fave LP of any group (although the Flesh Eater's A Minute to Pray is practically a tie)
Oh, I can still listen to it...the actual story is that I had a Galaxy 500 that had a tape deck that required a knife and a whole lot of patience to get a tape into. I recorded a cassette with Budokan, Bohemian Rhapsody and You're My Best Friend, loaded it and left it there for the entire summer. All those songs still take me back to 1980.
Those were the days. A pocket knife, a roll of tape, a 6 pack, and we made everything last. Nowadays it's all (including music) is so disposable. These kids today *old man voice* will have no memories like that,,,
Oh snap, I just realized when it posted how fitting what I said was with my meme,,, haha. Was accidental, the meme was only supposed to go with "Ain't that a shame" and the rest was reminiscing,,,
True story: I saw Cheap Trick at the LA House of Blues. Rick Nielsen hand me his electric Mandocello when they played that song and he needed to change to a guitar. I held it above my head in the first row until he finished the song. It was very, very cool.
