I used to hang out at 'The Archives' down the road from my house... it was a historical building where they kept all the old newspapers and census books etc. I would look at yearbooks and newspapers and stalk down people who usually had been dead for decades. I'd see who their families were and look all of them up. The ladies who worked there were all super old and I know they had to wonder what the actual fuck I was doing.

They were Texas Instrument calculaters.. and there was only about one for every two or three kids in the class, so we had to get into groups to use them. They were as big as a large dictionary and they had to be plugged into the wall.
Holy shit. We've come so far... and it really seems like it's fucking everything up.

My first car had The Beatles White Album on 8 track cassette in the glovebox. The car had an 8-track player and that was my only 8-track I could play in it, so I know the playing order of that double album by heart. Any time I hear a song from the White Album, I half expect the next song to play right after it.
Rumors was one of my favorites too. I listened to that and a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Greatest Hits CD, and the ABBA Gold CD until they were WORN OUT.
The White Album reminds me of the early 2000s. I had become obsessed with it around that time... my favorite song from the record was 'Long, Long, Long'.
