Gary Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Quick, repeat after me:If theres a bustle in your hedgerow Dont be alarmed now, Its just a spring clean for the may queen. If Survivor is persistent, repeat the cleansing process until problem subsides. Ok, you have now made my day Niche. I'm on my way out to the car to grab some Zep. If Survivor is persistent, repeat the cleansing process until problem subsides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Way overrated, though having the drinking age at 18 made it bearable. Got my first taste of a rigged election at Klein in 1978. Virtually the entire school voted for AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' for Class Song, but mysteriously, 'Dust In The Wind' was announced as the winner. Been an Anarchist ever since.

Guest danax Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 i think you have officially ruined the rest of my day (and maybe the weekend, too!) oh please let something else get stuck in my head! I graduated in '75 in Santa Rosa, CA and Journey was my favorite band at the time, but this was before they sold out with Steve Perry. I started playing guitar that year and Neil Schon was my guitarist of choice. They were progressive rock and he smoked his Les Paul. They were sort of local band still (SF Bay Area). I saw them play at a local college with probably 300 people. I had a job after school at a coffee shop as a dishwasher, then at a gas station, and saved up enough to buy a brand new '74 Yamaha Enduro 100 and rode it to school and rode it off road as much as possible. Liked to listen to Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Robin Trower, Hendrix, Led Zep etc. Big groups that year were Elton John, Paul McCartney & Wings and disco was starting to come up. I wouldn't have been caught dead in a disco though. Used to go down to Winterland in SF for concerts (my hearing has lost some high end) or an occasional "Day on the Green" at the Oakland Coliseum. Saw the Beach Boys, Doobie Bros and Fleetwood Mac there. June '75. Gerald Ford was president and the Vietnam War officially ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) I graduated from Kingwood High School in 1989. Think "Sixteen Candles" "The Breakfast Club", and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and that was what my high school life was like My friends were scattered throughout groups in my school. My best friend was a cheerleader with a rebellious streak, my main "group" was a bunch of guys a year older. We hung out with them a lot and they were all ONLY friends. I was also in FFA for two years but didn't really fit in with the "kikkers" but I loved them anyway and my boyfriend was a kikker/varsity player for Cleveland's little 3A football team. I was also in theater but never really fit in with them, either, but I managed to still be friends with everyone. I never "disliked" anyone except SNOBS! Ugh. Music, well, I morphed from junior high to high school. I went from Journey, Van Halen, etc to Depeche Mode, Erasure, New Order, and was juuuuuust starting to get into remixes from clubs. It was in college that I was introduced to sounds from Armand Van Helden and that was it for me throughout my early twenties! Nothing but clubbing Edited November 18, 2006 by Parrothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalparadise Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Zeppelin is good.I grew up on Zeppelin. At age 3, my dad gave me a copy of II and I used to sing all the words to the songs, even though I didn't know what they meant. By High School, I had moved on to the other stuff I listed. Of course, I reaquired Zeppelin after high school and they have remained a favorite ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that they rarely gave interviews and never made tv appearances, except for the early BBC stuff. Of course when "The song remains the same" came out in theaters, it was a very big deal for us Zep fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
