Yes, I remember us younger kids listening to our older siblings Cheech & Chong records. I vividly remember the one with the teacher, Sister something or other, whose class was so out of hand she would finally scream SHUT UP!

How about diasater movies?
or my big brother babysitting me and letting me watch a movie about earwigs that bore into people's brains.
And thinking thoughts like "Wow! in the future, that is in the year 2000, we'll probably have flying cars!"

Exactly! It was my older brothers album. It came with a giant piece of rolling paper, but I didn't realize what it was until much later.

Her name was Sister Mary Elephant.

Wasn't that Carly Simon and James Taylor??
