Too bad I didn't have a parent like that. But good thing I had a girlfriend who had cooler friends that introduced me to thrash metal and invited me at age 15 to go to a general admission show for Metallica and it looked something like this...
My folks influenced the music I listen to from the fact that they were always in the front seat and controlled the radio. But when I got older they didn't object to anything that I chose to listen to in my room either. They didn't like it but didn't tell me no, so that was cool...

Surprisingly a lot of the early Rush shows that I saw in the 80's provided a contact high when I saw them live. All of their early albums were fueled by a bit of the bud. Case in point, look at track 2 from 2112 - it's the first song on side two for chrissakes....

I still remember 16 year old me walking back to my hotel room with 4 six-packs of beer in the Bahamas when a dude came up to me selling some weed. I said I was all set, he looked at me, smiled and said "I guess you are"...
I remember 16 year old me (and Dan that was working there too) found that little plot in the fence row between Mr. H and the neighbor that we were clearing. It was some cheap shit but I traded a lot of it to a neighbor for blank tapes...

I remember my teenage years and between Jamie and Rob I actually don't remember a lot of my teenage years. Driving around listening to static on the radio, waiting for the stop sign to turn green and losing depth perception are my most memorable highlights...
I was never a fan of Winnie The Pooh. One grandma had some books and I read them and they were not fun to read. A lot of it didn't make much sense and the characters annoyed me. Now my other grandma had boxes of comics. No action ones, but hey, better than Winnie The Pooh...
