It was indeed a tape. And it was that little yelp/hiccup of Sting’s that we found so hilarious – granted, we were in a pot sauna at the time. As for Bonnie Raitt, not sure what the fascination was. I think we just liked to go to Pine Knob – explains Beach Boys, Brian Adams, Howard Jones, Steve Miller and our first concert ever – THE CARS!!! Who’s Gonna Drive You Home Tonight? Remember touching Howard Jones’ hand? Electric blue blazer.

I can’t hear “So Lonely” without thinking about that time when where we were sitting in the car before a Bonnie Raitt concert (as if we were really that into her??!!) at Pine Knob and how we rewinding it and listening to it over and over and finding it hilarious for some reason — but that had to be a cassette, yes? Perhaps made with one of our high-tech dubbing systems/boom boxes from Service Merchandise… not to harp on this, but how did we come to the conclusion we needed to go to bonnie rait?! (tho I think she may have been a precursor my ongoing and wonderful lucinda williams obsession, so maybe it all works out in the end.)

Thelonius Monk’s “Crepuscle with Nellie” -the most evocative track of my teen years – I’ll spare you the details. Charlie Parker’s “Night in Tunesia” from the 1954 Tully Hall Session. Exotic – VERY romantic. Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung” album. (chemical boost yielded optimum experience.)

Red Vogue – love that! Super sexy! I want Salt and Pepper Polymath to pipe in too!
Aud – I wasn’t serious about that old lady talk – we are NOT old ladies! No way, sister!
Kim – This one’s for you baby: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db6xHWEPTzo although I say nobody does it like Don . . .

“The Theme from Shaft” was played for the ENTIRE lunch period via a juke box in the lunch room, at Saint Jean Baptiste School on East 70th Street in New York, 1971.

You’ve nailed it–you are definitely an old lady! No, seriously. I still whirl around when I heard the Dead on soft rock stations and laugh and remember the mushrooms, the tie dies, and the vege sandwiches at Alpine Valley. (My kids’ 18 year old babysitter is going to Chicago for the weekend to hear the Dead, minus Jerry, of course.) My Dead tapes are long gone. Oh, the hours spent listening to the jams…Yes, we’re definitely too old to know what kids make of music.

The entire Abba album takes me back to 7th grade at Christ the King and rollerskating in my basement with a hairbrush as a mic. “Boys of Summer” by Don Henley is all about cruising around Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet in my girlfriends red jeep…I can almost smell my Loves Baby Soft perfume!
