I'M BORED..................I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Things are really boring lately. Bored at work, bored at home, even bored reading blogs. No offense, and all due respect, but it's just a bad time of year to have a blog with a spin on cycling unless you do BMX.
I've always been a fan of Iggy Pop. In 1977 The Idiot Tour was launched with (remember who??) on keyboards. I was 13 years old and thought Rock and Roll had hit it's pinacle. They actually played the Oriental Theater in 77. I was not in attendance.............drag.
What were you listening to at age 13??

I was listening to 1999 by Prince and one of your favorites Mr. Roboto by Styx.
In 1987 I was thirteen. Michael Jackson's bad album was it.
13? I would go back to 1973. Music wasnt invented yet.
Had to wait 3 more years for KISS
Had to wait 1 more year for Alice Cooper.
Had to wait a year or two for groups like Boston and AC\DC.
I'm flippin old:(
'75 Everything Dano put down except Boston which makes me violent withing 3 notes. Zep, Bowie,Neil Young Sabbath, Zappa, Hendrix, Blue Oster Cult. Also big acts like the Stones and The Who.
I listened to a lot of hard rock and also the alternative bands of the day. Picked up on the punk and new wave later in the decade.
WMSE on the radio.
I still have about every record tape and CD I ever bought. Once in a while I will bust out an old album with staying power like Neil Young, Johnny Cash or Pink Floyd Animals, Sabbath etc. What kills me is people like my secratary who is 15 years younger than me but listend to '70s rock day in and day out like it just came out. I have to keep moving.
The other day she was listening to Supertramp. I wanted to take her radio and smash it. But I didn't because I am too nice.
I have a half dozen Iggy Pop Albums. I like that Caddy commercial that he sings-- I'm bored with lookin' good...cause I', a punk rocker yes I am.
I meant WZMF on the radio.
Use Your Illusion I & II came out.
So did Vanilla Ice.
God i'm old. (sarcasm)
R.E.M. it was 1986 and probably the first time i realized there was more music out there than what was just on popular radio.
i can remember kids wanting to fight because i would be grooving to "blonde on blonde" and "new morning" and i think an early " greatest hits" record was out then also - on my sony 8-track on the school bus on our way out to weekly jr. high ski trips. they were hating it, - wanted supertramp i suppose - and i was calling them idiots and the school bus driver and cool ski-club advisor was on my side. in a bit of WORS-related irony, many of these trips were to the playboy club ski hill where we are gonna race this year - and where i was the first to be allowed to snowboard down the thing - well actually the first to be able to ride up the chairlift ( tho the snowboard bit was more 1978 or so ). anyway, i was in 8th grade, and it was 1973 and being into dylan was not the shit in racine at the time. i made my parents take me to the ( i think ) oriental way up in milwaukee to see the dylan movie, too ( billy the kid ). sk8er-based tunage was soon to follow and rule my life for a spell, but in the early 70's that is what i dug.

Yeah Ron.......You're really fartin' dust alright.
I think I had already been busted once or twice before getting arrested at the "Use your Illusion" concert.
Montee.......I'm on board. You got me by 2 years or so, but Dylan was and still is one of my favorites.
Jim....I used to get detentions at school just for singing Zappa lyrics.
Oh.....and Mountaingoat.
You have my sympathies.
Black Sabbath
Paul McCartney and Wings, ABBA, Stevie Wonder, "Songs in the Key of Life" This was before I hit the hard stuff at 15, RUSH 2112
Looks like I was the only normal one.
Captain & Tennille, Neil Sedaka, Bees Gees and Earth,Wind & Fire.
That's not very normal Ron.
I'm sure not admitting to the music I listened to at 13, probably Vivaldi. Not sure what year I actually heard "Eruption" and switched up to guitar from violin.. Anyway, I bothered commenting because that pic shows Twisted Fork. Clearly it's missing the Oriental Drug store that woulda been there when Iggy Pop was.
-jwm
I spent a whole lota time hang'n outside the Oriental, I guess inside to. Centry Hall loved that place, sucked when it burnt down. At 13...hmmm, can't remember that far back. That was like 30...31 years ago. Stooges, lived it, loved it. Pistols, Ramones, Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, blah, blah, blah
