A few things...
A few days ago I was in Borders, and I saw in the cheapo bin, Walk Among Us, by the Misfits. So everybody has those records that sent them on a different path than they should have gone. So this album was one of those albums. I usually don't have any interest in being nostalgic about these things, because listening to the music I listened to in junior high is usually just embarrassing. Though it is usually slipshod enough that I don't count some of it as my fault. For example, in 8th grade, well into my punk phase, I was handed a unmarked cassette tape, it had on it Straight Outta Compton by NWA and I listened to that constantly because I knew that both my punk rock friends and my mother would flip out. NWA was largely a private thing for me to listen to, I didn't wear rap on my white sleeve like most of my classmates did. Oh well. So on the way out of the unemployment office I heard Africa by Toto and thought it somewhat amusing. I have been listening to the Misfits, Toto's IV, Television's Marquee Moon, and Elvis Number one's like a madman lately, plus the Beatles kick I have been on. I don't know what to make of it, you decide, I just supply the peanuts you supply the gallery. I guess it should be said that I am learning all of these albums on the Guitar, I have a sickness that inclines me to learn the whole album, all the parts as much as can before I totally burn out of the record and don't touch it for thirty years. It is rare for me to be doing that to five albums at the same time.
