"Now station the refueling detail. All hands take cover for the shot line!" That`s the scene I remember for 1967.

1978 Sophomore year of HS. White Painter pants were the fashion (I think it was Smith's brand to be cool). Remember "Animal House" as well as some of my first more than "hand holding" dating experiences. I remember my generation straddled the 60's and 70's rock and punk/new wave...I was one of the crazy guys who took the path down troward punk. It wasn't black and white like PBS documentaries and HBO will have you think. Guys who listened to Punk and New Wave in 1978 , 79 and 80 would often look identical to our Rock brothers. Sideburns, long hair parted in the middle evolving into that 1980 "butt cut". The guys who wore garbage bags or had "Flock of Seagulls" hair dos early on tended to be the college age art students in NYC. Later on we got buzzed military style cuts, or let it grow long on top like Brian Ferry of Roxy Music, or some got that bowl cut that was long Oscar Wilde style on top and buzzed for the lower half. Until say 1982 we kind of listened to both styles of music. Usually those who made the full plunge into Alternative (I hated the term "New Wave") got bored with The Who, Zeppelin etc around 81-82.

I appreciate all my music now, but was all about getting away from Corporate rock and the old stuff back in the day and of course being different.

Ahh memories
