Grrrrrrrr. Not that you can’t copy and paste, but I hate it when I mess up the codes. Trying this again…

Hey thank ya Shayna! Turns out right before I read your post, I finally found the mp3 as well!

There’s a great 192k rip of it that was posted to alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1970s on  
12/12. Probably expired from the crappier news servers. I use supernews, though, and it’s still up.

Virtually anything by an 80s hard rock/big hair band…I haven’t heard anything from GNR, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, et al on the radio since “their time.”

Wait, wait, I _did_ hear “Pour Your Sugar On Me” on a classic rock station a while back. But that’s it. I miss the Whitesnake songs, of all things.

_sigh_

I used to think the world was against me. Now I know better. Some of the smaller countries are neutral.
