 I feel like an Senior citizen, here on the internet, never been a computer guy. But my son and I are making it a mission of ours to find albums, and cassettes that I once owned, but left to the wife before we split (WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE). Prog/Metal/AOR are my favorites. A lot of the reviews I seen on this site, so far, are stellar, you guys do a good job. Looking forward to chatting with you all.

I'm 26 and never want to grow up, but that's from a desire to play with action figures and poop my pants.

Welcome Geezer.

From one geezer to another Geezer, welcome.  There are not too many 'round this forum older than I am...just a guess.  But as with me if you found your way here you will be welcome. 
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Hey Geezer,

Have no fear.  You've just stumbled into an army of extended adolescence and most of us feel no shame. 

Welcome!

So, what's the biggest mistake of your life exactly? Splitting with your wife or leaving her your music collection? Tongue

Welcome from another 50-year old who will make the plunge from extended adolescence into old age sooner or later without experiencing the usual intermezzo of adulthood.

I don't think age has much to do with maturity, I had a high school chemistry teacher who still absolutely loves playing with fire. He took every opportunity to make things go BOOM. He is also one of my favorite teachers. LOL

Does that mean you still have all your 8 tracks? Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Don't worry we here all came to discover prog, but this forum made us love punk, grunge, grindcore, hardcore, death metal...
