When I was in my early twenties. My small band of friends and I would drive down a grass road between 2 corn fields after dark.This road was about 3 or 4 miles long, and we would go down half way and park.Very rarely would any one come down.I lived in a small town outside of the Illinois Quad City area called "Orion" OR-Ree-Yun not Oh-Ry-un.It was one of the highest points (Even though it looked quite flat) in this part f the midwest.I had several old Chrslers during this time, and we would lay out on the hood with our cassettes of OMD ,Eno, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Flying Lizards, Scott Wilks, Talking Heads, etsc... and watch the falling stars while we drank a few beers. Some very good memories.
Where was your fond music memories spawned?

I'd add my piece here, but what I used to do while listening to cool tunes... well it's not really appropriate for a public forum. Let's just say that there were various activities that some college students like to do sometimes <img src=icon_smile_wink

Myself and a couple of friends used to throw dance parties in his garage that we set up to look like a disco. I'd usually do the deejaying. We built this eyesore of a bar in there that had all sorts of secret apartments where we'd stash our booze. Thos

Since I have always preferred making plans The passage of time is flicking dimly upon the screen;
I can't see the lines I used to think I could read between.
Perhaps my brains have turned to sand
