i wasn't very cool i guess, i really did my own thing in middle school.... i was the crazy add kid with the nice ass.
I was into a bluesy folk music at that time - music was changing so fast. I think the 1st time I ever spent Money for a album was around 67 or so. FM radio wasn't even big yet - anyway it probably was Beggar's Banquet >The Rolling Stones. Either that or some Dylan album . I remember a lot of Dylan Albums piling up early in my house along with my sisters Beatle albums- Great stuff -great music- at one dysfunctional white ,middle class household where my folks were trying to hang on , to save Sinatra & Tony Bennett and the likes>
I would have been the kid that sat in the back of the class admiring your ass and your uniqueness and wondering why you ignore me all the time.
Actually, I was one of those people too, but I still had lots of friends. Those weird, hot girls that would come into class the the names of bands i'd never heard of written all over their bags, with unfashionably short hair and would to go off to smoke at lunch time in secret...I secretly worshiped them.
After just listening to the radio and had no special interest in music I rolled into the hard rock and heavy metal scene at age 10 or 11 . I'm pretty sure my first album (bought it secondhanded at the library!) was: ...followed by Nirvana's Nevermind, The Offspring album with the skeleton on the sleeve and the black album of Metallica. I don't have any of these cd's anymore.
My first album was probably something really embarassing. Like one of the NOW that's what I call music ones. Lol.
