first album-I went to woolworths with my own money and bought either tommy james and the shonelles for crystal blue persuasion or the loving spoonful for midnight confession-was it grassroots? I was probably 7 or so.

I can't remember the first show but it was probably a regional delaware valley show called sally star

my fav outfit in high school was hip hugger blue jeans that had patches on them, they had been frayed at the bottom with a needle. a cropped/ripped tee shirt that said "enjoy coke". can't remember my shoes

my first car was a chevelle ss that I bought from a greaser in princeton, NJ

can't remember the rest of the questions....but I noticed that most of your answers place you as younger!
