    That was an hour drive for us, and even then your only real choice was Rare Bear in Santa Fe
-and yet you still made the drive. Why? Because music rules. Did you also listen to radio stations hoping for a song to come on so you could hit "record" on your tape deck? You'd end up with a copy of that Cure song, with some annoying DJ introducing it. I had whole tapes filled with songs like that. I'd call in to stations with requests just in hopes of recording the song requested. I'd lay in bed with my arm draped over the side, finger resting on the record button just waiting to hear the beginnings of a desired tune.
