I like Pink Floyd, come to think of it I also like Janis, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Animal and all of the other Muppets. LOL
Is this a light saber in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?

Thanks for a great story, PLH. There must be hope for your dad if he's a Pink Floyd fan. : )
I wonder how many of us, being denied all the normal teenager experiences, felt that music was our only friend.
I can't count all the times I turned up the radio volume full blast driving home from kingdom ministry school to alleviate boredom, frustration, or just plain disgust from all hipocrasy and pretend love. Those were the days of Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, and Janis Joplin. Funny how so many old songs are intertwined with memories of assemblies and dub events.
Then in the early seventies they started leaning hard on rock and roll and took away the only thing that many of us had left -- and so much of our identity with it! The bastards!
hello
I'm nearly 70 years old and I still enjoy listening to the "Wall" , also "1944" about the Allies
landing on the beachead at Anzio during World War ll.
My dad's favorite rock 'n roll record was 'dark side of the moon'.
I still always think of him whenever I listen to it.
I know it's only Rock n' Roll...
zev, i've seen the movie many many times since this first time and of course have seen it while high as a kite :) i understood it much better the second, third, fourth (hehe) times around. ya know the whole older, wiser and more f-ed up thing. :)
jeff, my acid days were about 10 years off from that first experience with eugene. but i have this theory that little kids are naturally on a "trip" anyway haha!
beck, hey, we never had an orchestra at the kingdom hall athough we had a piano player before the simplified version. and i think there was an orchestra at the DCs but can't remember for sure.
happy heathen, i tell ya, i thank DOG for music, saved me from dying from boredom as a jw kid.

PLH I hit my posting limit and I couldn't respond.
I'm rather jealous, one of the things my parents were so strict about was music.
Or should I say "Music that debases," LOL
Therefore any bonding over music is likely to be to Hugo Montenegro doing "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" or Herb Alpert. LOL. Anything Herb Alpert except "Never on a Sunday," which is about a hooker who won't screw anyone on a Sunday, LOL.

lisa, hahaha, i don't even know who those two are!!
"music that debases" *groan* i remember at the last DC i attended, there was a talk about debase music. i couldn't get the song "debaser" by the pixies out of my head. at that point in my life, i didn't give a shit what the speakers talked about...preferring to escape into my mind during those last few months of my jw-dom.
found the lyrics to the song, just a simple little song:
"Debaser"
got me a movie
i want you to know
slicing up eyeballs
i want you to know
girlie so groovy
i want you to know
don't know about you
but i am un chien andalusia

The Wall used to make my brain go funny...
Wish You Were Here is probably one of the most wonderful albums (Hmm CD's, showing my age there!) ever made.
