oh, I remember- it all, how progressive it all seemed, 31 years ago. some of the music was definitely better, undoubtedly.pgt
Alas, I remember everything. Except the Patti LuPone cover. That was a shocker.
I listened to the Wall endlessly; it scared my mother a little.
1979-the year I graduated from high school so this is so, so familiar. Great memories.
