1990. My freshman year in High school I opened my locker and written on the inside of the door, in black sharpie " You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." I can still see it in my head.
Before that I listened to Metallica, The Doors, Suicidal tendencies, Zeppelin, Beatles, Zappa, Clapton, Cream, Queen, Jimi Hendrix. PINK FLOYD (the wall blew my fricken 7th grade mind)Many of these I found from mix tapes my older sister's boyfriend had left behind.
I pursued this music at garage sales where there were abundant LPs which I grabbed and listened to over and over.
After that I started listening to Dylan and Steppenwolf. Some Paul Simon then Simon and Garfunkel. Crosby Stills and Nash. CREEDENCE CLEAR, Then Various Reggae and some pop rock.
Senior year I went to Grateful Dead concert and didn't really get what all the hype was about. But I bought some dancing bears and put them on my car so I figured I better start listening to them.

If people want to talk about this and just throw in one liners I'll start.

Wind Cries Mary: Loss and longing and disappointment.

Pink Floyd The Wall: definitely helped me hate private school even more.
