Marijuana was a thing. Smelled it the first time while singing in the band room. They did not use those back rooms just for practising

I had to wear ties on gamedays too. Wasn’t happy about it.

There was a short time when bib overalls were popular.

Probably every student had a copy of “Frampton Comes Alive”.

And since it was a double album, some of them might have used the inside to shake the seeds out of their weed and stuff.

So I’ve heard. Allegedly. Reportedly.

In 1977 this poster was everwhere. It was made in 1976 and sold over 12 million copies.

What a great year.

Do you see where the letters “S-E-X” were in her hair?

It was phenomenon. I remember having a T-shirt with that image was considered the ultimate thing to have for a while. I was more of a Morgan Fairchild guy at the time, and had her poster on my wall, but most everyone else had Farrah.

The other things we discussed, were, things like who is the better US band? Boston, Kiss, Ted Nugget, AC/DC, or Van Halen (who had just arrived and we were trying to figure out).

Her hair? No... Actually I was (still am) more focused on other areas of her anatomy.

*** Cause everybody knows that smoking ain’t allowed in school.***

Except to set off fire alarms to get out of the pop quiz that day.

That’s what we did, we argued about who the better guitarist, drummer was.

In my school, your band, was your identity. Everybody knew who everybody’s favorite band was.

Had a friend, big REO Speedwagon fan. Always wore their T-Shirts to school (like Adam Sandler in ‘Billy Madison’)

That was, until ‘Hi Infidelity’ came out. I asked him why I never saw him wearing REO Speedwagon shirts anymore, and he told me, “I’m never listening to that effing band again!”, he said they turned into a “chick band”.
