My older cousins did not have that song in the repertoire. I only listened to rock music when hanging out with my degenerate longhaired cousins from the valley. Lots of Ummagumma and Hocus Pocus.
i love Purple but the thing about Tyler (at least on the first four albums) was the incredible blues swagger it was delivered with on a power scale i would have to agree Gillian is way up there also lyrically i think smith were pretty fucking clever but thats jmho a song like dream on being written by a couple of nj/ny punk teenagers is one for the ages it sure gets over played but every once in a while the original feeling comes back and its a masterpiece silly to compare awesome talents like those guys anyway one thing for sure is that we were extremely fortunate to live and grow up in the era of music we did
funny how blackmore looks every bit the surly bastard that legend say he was was he the most hated rock star? maybe that was david lee roth
My first car (but mine had stock wheels). I can hear Band of Gypsys and Lee Michaels blaring of out those Craig speakers now.
my buddies had the big bench seat in front made a left turn into the old neighborhood after a party and each of us having one of those 714 thingys his car was all clean and armor alled including the bench seat seemed like slow motion but as the car turned, the steering wheel appeared massive, and as he corrected his luded ass started sliding my direction as he slid he reached back and grabbed the wheel which took the car slowly back to the right, up the curb, and softly onto our neighbors parked car so he's laying in my lap basically and after a brief scramble we are outside assessing the situation bumpers are locked and i shrug at my buddy and make a brisk exit still friends today and i just got off the phone w him lol
My first car was a 1965 Ferrari 250 GT...had a really shitty radio in it. So, I sold it for $800 cash and a bootleg Beatles album. Caveat emptor !
ugh my first car was a chevy vega wagon not much different than this one looked great, broke down constantly in retrospect, a great first car actually... lowered my expectations so much that the next several vehicles thereafter were great!
My first car was a bad ass 1979 CVCC. I got it from my first job mopping and waxing supermarket floors at night when I was 14. I could not drive legally yet but I would mess around with it so I could get used to being in a car. My mom made me let my 21 year old cousin use it so he could take his GF out. He crashed it. Now they remaking it. So when I was 16 I got me my real first car that I would drive for years. 1983 Corolla FX-16 hatchback. I had the 5 door hatchback not this 3 door. Sure it had an MR2 engine that would zip past all the newer cars... but i was not a gear head. All I cared about was all that rear space, perfect for a young boy taking his girl up the hill. Cost me 500 bucks at the local impound lot.
Never got my license until I was 22...first thing I drove was a M-113 Armored Personal Carrier... Not too fast, but could turn on a dime. When mounted with a .50 caliber, great for a drive by...
I forgot how cool looking they were...had Volvo P-1800 E that had that egg crate grill, too. Loved it. Thought I was Simon Templar when I was in it.
that looks a lot like my first car. 74 and it was that color brown w out the tonneau or the rear spoiler i crashed it after nearly dying in it multiple times on the beach roads saved up 3k to buy it by 17 working on houses my brother was buying and reselling mom sort of picked it out for me when she spotted it for sale always liked the 71/72 versions so maybe thats why i chose to destroy it
My first car was my parents old 1980 Olds Cutlass Supreme. What a piece of shite. Nearly killed me a few times. The engine warning light went on on the way from the dealer to home....brand new. Clock stopped working the 1st month. By the time I got it, it sucked so bad, would backfire.....sheesh. I remember when people were shooting at each other on the freeways, and the car backfired on me, I though someone was shooting at me. Would not accelerate when you stomped on the gas....a problem when you’re trying to merge onto a freeway. Eventually, the engine died and it was goodbye and good riddance.
