So I was this "pretty nerdy" looking kid when I was 12 ish and started to discover girls and rock n roll. I thought i was all cool and shit with my kizz posters, Gene (the rock demon) spitting blood and Space Ace setting his guitar on fire.
Elton John singing "Island Girl" and me actually thinking he was singing about a girl and not a dood.

My good friend and neighbor Joe Hazen gave me (loaned) me his Judas Priest cassette tape. Remember those. I had a kick ass "Boom Box" also. The song that stuck with me from that 1st Judas Priest I ever heard was...

I can only hope to not be sitting and shitting in a diaper at 70+
So give this heavy stuff a listen. And remember they are...
