I bought at least ten albums a month, mixed my own tapes. Wasn't much for me to do after hours, as I lived a dozen miles off base. No TV for four years, it wasn't that bad.
Weekends during the summer, you'd find me driving up and down the Mosel River, looking for winefests, or I'd drive up to Koblenz to dine at the Konigsbacher brewery: great jagerschnitzel and bock beer on tap.
Came back to the states with over 400 albums, still have them, too.
Wanted to add, my collection has nothing from Springsteen.
