The Beatles (one of my earliest memories is sitting in our kitchen after kindergarten eating baloney sandwich and chix noodle soup, listening to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" on the tinny little radio). Love early Who and Stones, plus Joplin, Dylan somewhat, and way early Steely Dan and CSNY.

About 5 years ago I was listening to our Classic Rock stn, as always, and "Hotel California" came on for the umpteenth time, and suddenly this wave hit me like - you've been playing this for 30 years. Give it a rest.

So I checked out rap and even earlier rap. I do like 50 C, some Kid Rock, and as for Eminem ... I find some of his songs all but unlistenable, and others just stun me with the genius. Really.

And cards were stale gum, and look at who you got. If you got a Tiger, great. But if you didn't you could talk forever about who you got, who they were - didn't need any limited series, swatch of whatnot - until of course you put them in the bike spokes.
