Concert ticket prices [:(]

Anything goes. You could even say your pet goldfish.

"Having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment."

Either that or good radio.

The absence of political correctness. Everyone and I mean everyone is so thin-skinned these days.

I miss having a 30 inch waist and a full head of hair!
[:D]

I also miss being really excited about what was on the radio & generally being excited about current music, going to bars to see bands, to discos, etc.

I miss my young, firm body that, at the time, I had no idea what to do with. My boobs were amazing at age 17. I could have ruled the world with those puppies.

I miss that picture of the little running clock MTV would put up in early stages of the channel that said "Be right back". More to the point the excitement of catching new videos and sittiing slack jawed staring at the tv for hours on end, like a junkie who couldn't get enough of it, amazing a station that actually brought the world of music right into your living room. It now has evolved into something i can only take in small doses.

Being so excited about a band it took over everything about you. Like Duran Duran did for me back then. I miss being so excited about a group that me and my friends "ate slept and drank" them. (That sounds a bit weird lol)
