  1. I have my share of baggage from my parents' divorce, and my dad "kind of" being there but not 100%.  At one point, I had some good sit-downs with him, and I determined that he had his own limitations. 

    One VERY wise thing he said to me, though: "None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes.  You just won't make the same mistakes I made...." 

    Well said IMO.

    Your first record was much less embarrassing than mine. I got the RCA record player/speakers combo (mod 70's blue plastic/with stand), for Christmas. I was 10, and the two records I got with it were Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii and The Chipmunks.

    Those are still very good!  I was lucky to have two older brothers into music.  One was ~4.5 years older, and I got a lot of early taste from him (classic and country rock, and prog).  But over time we 3 boys each found our own niche for musical tastes....

  3. I think my first vinyl "rig" was around 1971 or so as well....  Definitely had it by 1973, as I remember my first vinyl (J Geils Live Full House) playing on it.

    It was either a Craig or Fisher, complete with 8track, receiver, and turntable.  Something like the below.

  4. I have some very good discussions with my son about various political theories: Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, and variants....

    Ultimately I argue all would fail, because people will be in power, and they will be corrupted in some way.  Theory is one thing, application into reality another.  What Antonio says encapsulates much of that belief.

    It would almost be better to be in the Matrix....

    But we are faced with the lesser of evils at this point, so I will do what I can to keep that lesser evil....
