As I've grown older, I've learned to appreciate his guitar playing so much more. 

What a good got danged band they are. 

 

I can most definitely relate to that sentiment. I find myself looking back and listening to a lot of music that takes on a whole new appearance now. 
 

As an aside, listening to Dave Grohls book, he talked about meeting Huey Lewis and how cool a dude he was. Had no idea he recorded a harmonica piece for Thin Lizzy.

Evidently he's from the Bay area and super into the Dead. Might've even been on stage with them at some point? Don't remember all the details. But definitely seems like an epic beer hang.

Thank you sir! First time I recall that happening, but it would only let me post as a link. Tried numerous times and kept getting errors. Might have been Wild Turkey.

The local rock station back home used to do a Friday night rock block on a featured album. In order to do it, a listener had to get like a hundred names/signatures with along with a favorite song per person. My brother and his hood friends put one together for this album. Me, at 14 years old, signed up for MOP as my song. I’m pretty sure I was smoking a Marlboro red when I signed the sheet of notebook paper…
 

Meeeeeeemories…..

I’m pretty sure I was standing in the parking lot of Northpark Mall with a pocket full of allowance destined for the arcade as well.

 

And the mere though of a cigarette makes me turn green now. No nicotine has coursed my veins in over 8 years.

Good on ya. Probably about the same for me. Don't miss them at all! 

Man. The mall. The arcade, the record store, the food court, and Spencer, where nothing was illegal but it felt like everything was a little bit illegal.

That intoxicating smell of Aquanet and fresh waffle cones from TCBY….

Speaking of record stores the best ever was in Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood, Fl man I lived at that store plus next door was a Jazz club where I saw Leon Rebone and Leon Russell who just showed up to play unexpectedly. God the memories of South Fl. 

 

Peaches Records and Tapes was a music and entertainment retailer in the United States. Peaches was known for its vast selection with many locations in buildings the size of a typical grocery store. Stores were also known for autograph signing events, huge reproductions of the album covers of the latest releases on the side of its buildings and for selling records from wooden crates with the chain's colorful fruit-crate style logo on the side. Stores reportedly stocked $500,000 worth of inventory.

Splashed across the sidewalk outside Hustler Hollywood is a long row of handprints and footprints in swaths of worn cement. A closer look reveals names belonging to visionaries. Iconic musicians such as Rick Springfield, Charlie Daniels, Peter Frampton, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, and Jaco Pastorius have all left their mark on the stretch of pavement outside a store that now sells sex toys.

This spot was once occupied by a never-ending stream of South Florida's music lovers. Perpetually packed, Peaches Records & Tapes welcomed esteemed artists and audiences alike. The Fort Lauderdale record shop stood out as one of the most successful branches in a chain of 50 stores in 23 states. It was also the last Peaches standing, before the store’s closing in 2001.

When the shop opened in 1975, Greg Goode was one of the first employees hired. He recounts an array of celebrities who dropped in to make appearances or buy tracks. Among the highlights were hanging with ZZ Top and encountering Jimmy Buffett.

“I was the night manager at the time when this guy was looking at the [Buffett] display. I look at him and told him he looked like Buffett. A few days, maybe a week, later, a rep from ABC Records comes into the store. Another manager and I are talking to him when he pops up with, 'By the way, Jimmy Buffett was in the store. He said a guy told him he looked like himself.'”

The Little Big Store in Raymond, MS. It was originally located in Jackson. An absolutely amazing place. The owner just passed away and her kids are now running it. The store has survived all these years, despite the “business”.
