Remember that day back in the early to mid 80’s when the stereo system with the massive tower speakers arrived, the one you’d spent much of your teen life saving up for?

Remember that?

You set it up along the wall in your first apartment, right between the life sized Alanis poster (this was before she entered her bitch-music phase) and the Van Halen drapes flag covering the window. You then gingerly tore the plastic wrapper off the AC/DC cassette you’d bought months earlier, just for this special occasion, hit “Open” on the left hand dual cassette deck, inserted the tape and pushed it shut.

The power LED glowed in the darkness, volume knob was set to 9, you hit “Play” and fell back on the couch.

Hells Bells echo’d for miles and Brian Johnson’s tortured screams resonated through your skull as you ran your hands through your monster mullet. Your shiteating grin was wider than that time Heather Polinski let you grab her boob while you two made out at the school dance.

Remember that? No??

Uh, ok. Maybe that was me then.

You’ll have to excuse me, that decade, the 80’s, was a blur…

Today’s generation has iPods and gadget blogs to tell them about things like the iTower. Or is that an iPod Tower? Hell, it’s a freakin iPod Shrine ok!

Dude, scroll through that playlist and find me some Anthrax. Lets see what this puppy’s got for gonads… and don’t hog the bong, ok?
