KISS records.

ability to furnish them with homemade cassette copies
of my expansive selection of Lps.

of permanent Rock Snobbery are formed.
1985 - Bar Mitzvah'd and have to write thank you letter
for recieving a copy of "Sports" by Huey Lewis & The
News against my will. Redeem cred by attending Roger
Waters concert. Acquire first CD player.

Lp catalog for my 14th birthday and I am soon the envy
of .02% of Nobel Jr. High.

unprecedented second run of my senior year.

stage.

super-pretentious stage. Drink copious amounts of
beer. See KISS at the Sportovini Hala!

professor.
