Actually, I finally broke down and picked up three CDs from Tower last weekend (because Tower doesn’t fucking carry tapes any more, the fucking bastards- not _all_ of us have CD players in our cars, you fucks!); a live Lynyrd Skynyrd CD (don’t recall the name, offhand), Jethro Tull’s Too Old To Rock And Roll, and Rush’s Presto. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by John Corrado \* > **not _all_ of us have CD players in our cars, you fucks!)** John, John, John. I know your pain, but it’s easily remedied. If you have a portable CD player, just get a car adapter for it. They’re pretty cheap, and plug right into your tape deck, so your CDs can play away while you drive. It’s how I’ve managed to make long car rides not suck. A very good investment. Good call on the Jethro Tull album, though. I don’t own it, but borrowed it from a friend who’s a huge Tull fan. Poor bastard, he thinks he’s getting it back… ---

I mean, they yell at me if I just ask to hear a different station. I can’t _imagine_ what they’d do if I popped up front and started plugging a CD adaptor in there. ---

First- Scylla does, indeed, rock. Second- Jester, I _had_ a CD player that would convert to tape; it played one CD then decided to die on me (this was half-an-hour into a four hour drive where I had left my tapes at home and brought all of my CDs in the expectation of rapturous joy in hearing them. Sucked to be me). So I’m a little wary of those things, and instead just painstakingly copy the CDs to tape, then lose the tapes. I’m very efficient that way. As for Tull- yes, TOTRAR is a great album, but I still prefer Aqualung and the full version of Thick as a Brick. Third- jarbabyj: oh, yeah? Well, when _I_ was a kid, we had to turn our CDs by _hand_! That’s right! None of this fancy “spinning disc” stuff- no, we’d have to stick a pin into a rolled up paper cone and spin the CD in our hand to try and hear what was on it! And God forbid you spun too fast- the technology was new and the lasers inside the CD weren’t nearly as small as they are today, and if you spun the CD _too_ fast beams would shoot out of it and disintegrate your foot! Why, breaking a CD could unleash enough lasers to blow up the whole house! Of course, back then, we all lived in a little shack, there was barely enough money to go around… ---

Thank **god** heembo started this thread so I could finally ring in on this very important topic! So what happened when Jethro Tull got the grammy (or whatever it was) for best Heavy Metal band? Was that a mistake? Did the wrong people vote? We’re mystified! ---

**Cranky** , I think the problem was with the people who nominate bands in each catagory. I wish I knew, because they were idiots, although they set up a great joke the next year, when Lars Ulrich’s acceptance speech thanked Jethro Tull for not putting out an album that year, clearing the way for a Metallica win the the Heavy Metal catagory. ---

As long as we are on the topic of “metal” bands, did anyone see that VH1 Movie about Def Leppard? I was at band practice and totally missed it. Was it worth watching? ---

Psssssshaw John, at least you had manually operated CDs when you were a kid, we had 8 track tapes! I can’t even begin to tell you the horror stories there! Ironically, my first 8-track was Jethro Tull. For years I thought Aqualung went something like this: "Feeling alone, the army’s up the rode salvation à la mode and a cup of tea. Aqualung my friend, don’t start away uneasy **CLICK! CLICK!** don’t start away uneasy you poor old sod, you see, it’s only me. Do you still remember December’s foggy freeze." > [@](#): > > Is The Netherlands (Are?) now known for tulips and asses? No, you misunderstood when Coldie suggested two lips on his ass. Hey, does anyone know how to treat cracked heels? Mine are icky! ---
