Freeway - fuck yeah!

The Easy Rider soundtrack was all radio hits because they couldn't afford to hire someone to write an original score, according to the commentary.

Sorry, but the Summer of Love was 1967, not '68.

@Proto Furry - same generation. My mom graduated HS in '62 in Sonoma County, not that far from Modesto geographically or culturally, and American Graffiti was one of her favorite movies. My dad wound up joining the Navy in '67 when he & my mom divorced, to avoid getting drafted into the infantry; he spent most of his…

I love that cut! Also Set The Controls For the Heart of the Sun, and Careful With That Axe, Eugene.

Listening to The Wall repeatedly, while at a summer session for math and computer programming in Oklahoma, and learning nothing but that one has no affinity for advanced math, computer programming, Oklahoma, or any of the other kids in the session, while looking out an eighth floor window, is not recommended.

Michael Jackson is Pop King of sick fucking country. Nailed it.

Since I lived in the Mission and now in Noe Valley, Modern Times has been my Big SF Bookstore of choice. I also went to Cover to Cover until it closed, and still go to Phoenix. But I don't go to bookstores that often, as it can be an expensive habit.
