American Classics, right?
I'd be riding my Schwinn Orange Krate singing this song



Life was good :)
Then I started smoking weed & dropping acid & it all turned to shit.
What the fuck happened?
Fucking Republicans happened that's what & ruined my head/ buzz.
Cocksuckers :(

That was my first slot car, but it was blue. A great looking car to this day.
I bought a junker stingray bike for $5, took it apart, put new bearings in it and polished the chrome. I painted it that color orange, put knobby tires on front and rear to make it look like a dirt bike. I couldn't afford a new bike, let alone that Orange Krate. They also had a red Apple Krate and yellow Lemon Peeler. My best friend and I commandeered our brothers' Continental 10 speeds and got them road worthy. They were best friends, too, but 7 years older. We'd ride from the Valley to the beach and back, a big accomplishment then. We were amateur bike mechanics. Schwinn only, no Huffy's for us. Later, we got into better, lighter 10 speeds, though. On particularly smoggy days, we'd wear surgical masks and blocked a lot of dirt with them by the end of the ride. Good times.

I was one fucked up 11 year old
The Jap & the Kraut didn't stand a chance against my American GI Joe.
When Joe got surrounded, out would come the firecrackers, cherry bombs, M-80's & my favorite, a can of Lysol spray disinfectant with a Zippo lighter (flame thrower)
Man, I must have gone thru a dozen GI Joe's between the fireworks & my Lysol :)
Damn, that was fun :)
Anyone have one of these?

I LOVE THIS ALBUM.
I bought this anthology of Yes and it contains studio outtakes.
There is a version of America that I believe should have been the version released. That's is an extra track on the Fragile disk I got.
I'll see if somebody loaded it up.

I love Old Speckled Hen on tap. Or most bitters. Sammy's ...yes. nut brown... yes.
Jims going ape sh*t.
I love doing Guinness with a shot of Kahlua. Kinda tastes like Yoohoo.
I guess therapy is working.

Yea, the old timers are seeking out way's to relive their youth by collecting fond memories.
I have a record collection that goes back to 1963, with some 1st presses of the Beatles/Stones.
They work well to make me smile
This album my brother turned me onto in '67 (one of the few good things that prick ever did for me/he was your typical older brother, an asshole :) )

I had Anchor Steam on tap in San Francisco and I'll never forget the pleasure it brought. Mexico makes some good beers, too.
Modelo Negra is very good.

Edit; my brother was very good to me. He taught me how to play football, baseball and to surf. He was a hell of an athlete (lettered 4 years in track) and a big inspiration. He's now my best friend, since the others of my age have passed, or I gave them up, voluntarily.
