2. Ha, and I'm wearing my Cheap Trick T-shirt right now.

What a great band. Saw them live a few times and they were fun. I got on of fun. I even got a guitar pick from Rick.

3. I used to be able to tell you what songs the 8 track clicked on in the middle of on that one. On ACDC If You Want Blood

it clicked through a track right in the middle of Whole Lot of Rosie. I know because it blew my speakers out in my car the first time I played it. I remember that made me so freaking mad. Those Jensen Separates cost me a whole weeks paycheck of 75 bucks (at minimum wage at the time lol). Had to time those track changes! They "Ka-Klunk" loud as hell right in the middle of a song on a lot of them lol! We had custom Craig car stereos we built ourselves with power amps and equalizers in our cars. I had dual 300 watt equalizer/amps (one for each channel!) powering those speakers. Basically a months worth of minimum wage (2.85 an hour) checks in my car stereo! Had Cheap Trick Live at Budakon and If You Want Blood and The Floyd Ummagumma cranked on 11 every second I was in that old 74 SS, windows rolled up full of "fog" wink wink before Up in Smoke came out (had their albums though lol). My goodness that song takes me back every time I hear it! We got away with a lot of stuff back then man!

That songs also an earworm from hell lol
