Living in the past?

I like them very much! I have such happy memories associated with their music...drinking in a farmers field, peeing behind trees, kissing a cute guy, laughing and carrying on. *sigh*

My urban experiences way back then were similar, sorta.

We took our boom-boxes to the drive-ins. Before the movies, it was a party in the gravel (during the day, in the same spot, I'd have been with my parents at the swap meet).

Nobody didn't like Lynyrd Skynyrd on the box or Cheech and Chong on the screen.

If there wasn't a good slasher or stoner flick playing, we'd go to Griffith Park Observatory for the laser light rock show.

I never peed in a farmer's field, but behind buildings and at freeway downhills were necessary from time to time.

And, kissing cute guys never grows stale, even if "cute" looks differently to me now than it did back then. Kissing is underrated, IMO.

Kiss, Tom Jones.
Prince's original version is the best; love it. But, that skinny little bitch doesn't license much without a fee. Plus, my grandma loved Tom Jones -- "It's not Unusual" and "God Didn't Make the Little Green Apples" -- I can sing them and still remember the moves she taught me -- she was a little crazy and a lotta mean sometimes, but she was never boring.
