    I really started to feel old when Metallica was inducted as I remember buying their first album. Hard to believe that they have been together 25 years.

    Well he was,RH-they were called The Quarrymen. [1956-1960]
    I do believe he was in another band too,but the name escapes me,bruv.

    How about this-I was talking just last week to a young,but very keen,budding musician of 17/18 that his guitar hero is the lead guitarist with The Shadows...who's name,apparently, is Marvin Gaye!

    when your first hit of LSD (strawberry fields) was given to you free after watching others do it for a month and then your first night was devoted to you with all your friends hanging out and waiting for you to write your name in colors in the air :0

    Back then LSD was free for everyone where i lived in phila and it was the uppers that cost 50c each

    PS: Yes that was my experience in 67 and i only continued to get high until the 80's but i did do positive things like recycling newspapers in 67 and 68 and eventually opening up a recycling center in 75 in N. Calif humboldt county

    NOTE: I also got stuck on the NY state freeway in 69 on my way to woodstock which i never made it too so we went back to the poconos and watched the moon landing at the new jersey Y camp (for jewish kids) i worked at as a dishwasher

    You remember the days when dope wasn't hydroponic, overbred crap with the wrong proportions of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid isomers and tainted with toxic growth chemicals like gibberillic acid
