All I have to do is see the cover of Tyranny and Mutation, and the memories of another time come flooding back... Yeah, they don't call me 'cutting edge' for nothing; I have to pay them... I think I had a "vested identity interest" in not liking the Grateful Dead, if that makes sense. I was proud to be part of the crowd that believed Terrapin Station had some points, but the rest of it was meaningless. Stupid ego.

Interesting. I used to have several of these, but unfortunately they were disposed of before my move to Louisiana, before I'd ever got around to trying one.

Ouch! You know, after all the Bobbi Humphrey posts I've seen here, I'd pick up a CD or LP out of sympathy if I ever saw one...

Believe it or not, the Grateful Dead. Better forty years late than never, I suppose.

Since Wade Boggs, around 1984. Supposedly a side effect of eating too much chicken.

I don't know how dystopian you want to go, but you might try Brian Aldiss' Greybeard, though be warned, the premise that launches the story is definitely sf. I hope.

Tom Morgan Dick Morgan Harry Morgan Well, he hung out with that cool cat Jack Webb...

My dad had some Ames Brothers LPs as well, but in his defense, he also introduced me to Sarah Vaughsn, Ella Fitzgerald, Howard Roberts and a host of others...

Jet Li Raggedy Ann Bobby Womack

Marty McFly Madame Butterfly Max Roach

And those of us a bit younger had Daniel Boone (though admittedly the Davy Crockett stuff was better!). Definitely an icon of my childhood.

Jar Jar Binks James Mason Alexander Graham Bell

I can't deal with progressive lenses, so I doubt these would get a nod from me, but if you're used to progressive already, sounds like it might be worth a try.

I'll drink to that.
