It doesn’t help that you don’t remember the 60’s or 70’s.

“It doesn’t help that you don’t remember the 60’s or 70’s.”

The 60’s??

I was sucking on a bottle during Woodstock and the first Moon Landing.

The 70’s?

Disco’s was okay but the 80’s had it going on!

He was one heel of a guitar player. Try doing the triads for the opening of Love Stinks and you'll see.

I met him once back in the 80s. Nice guy.

In Pace Requiescat.

I remember seeing them in Boston opening for larger acts in the late 60s.

They were almost regulars at the Tea Party and The Ark.

"I was sucking on a bottle during Woodstock and the first Moon Landing."

Isn't that a coincidence ... so was I. But I would be the first to admit that mine wasn't filled with fruit juice or milk ...
