All right you eager beavers. This contest is closed while I ~~choose the most embarrassing confessions~~…er, I mean, enter your names into the auto-unbiased-winner-generator and have it randomly pick a few winners.

It was the summer of 1985 at the Berea, Ohio KMART. I was way into the Beverly Hills Cop “Axl F” Theme by Harold Faltermeyer (falling JUST short of the Miami Vice Theme that summer on my list of coolness), but my Mom wouldn’t buy it for me because there was a picture of Eddie Murphy on the sleeve of the 45RPM holding a mean looking pistol. She must’ve just read an instructional book on parenting (guaranteed it would’ve been purchased at the same KMART) so what did it do? Totally conned my poor Grandma into buying it for me the next weekend, and so began my storied career of lying and deceiving.

Journey’s “Escape.” In vinyl. In 1981. Which is to say: BEFORE “The Sopranos.”

I may be dating myself here but it was “Undercover Angel” by Alan O’Day in 1977 on 45, of course. I couldn’t afford one of those fancy 8-track players.

Still remember it like it was yesterday. Stepdad took me to The Warehouse where I bought Bryan Adams’ “Reckless” on cassette. I was 10. Oh magical cassette days, how I miss you.

The first piece of music I ever bought with my own money…hmm, I think it was Berlin’s Pleasure Victim on cassette. I was 9 or 10.

If you count something my parents bought for me before I ever received an allowance (I was like 5, allowance didn’t start until a couple years later), it was KISS’s Alive! also on cassette. KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park was very important to me when I was a kid.

I actually can’t make the concert. I just thought I’d share.

Huey Lewis won’t replace my need for Classic Eats! When can we go out again? Jeff and Donna and inquiring minds wanna know…

First piece of music I ever bought with my own money was Thriller on cassette! I remember saving up my allowance ($2 a week) and doing extra chores for the $10 tape. Then I let a friend borrow it and he “accidentally” lost it. The next day he gave me a bootleg Thriller cassette (remember how you could buy these at the swap meet?) Needless to say, I refuse to let anyone borrow my tunes…

Hmm… first CD I bought was G+R’s Appetite for Destruction. first album I remember getting was Police Synchronicity (which I promptly traded with my sister for Journey). First piece of music I bought for myself though may have been *hangs head* Debbie Gibson’s ‘Only in My Dreams’.
