I loved this post, and I am right there with you about Joe Posnanski. He is a national treasure; an amazing writer who is interesting no matter the topic, and I can't wait for his annual Christmas draft with Michael Schur, Nick Offerman and the crew.
Thanks for the memories about music being part of everything we did as kids. I remember carting the oversized boom box to the schoolyard where we played basketball so we could listen to Aerosmith, J Giels, The Cars (just to name some Boston bands!), along with Rush, Jethro Tull and BOC. The only expenditure that could rival that for records and Ben and Jerry's ice cream was the one to constantly replace the 8 D size batteries that wore out from carting around that blasted boombox. At least we had a plug and cord that could be used with it in the attic where our pool table was, where we listened to Saga, Jethro Tull's MU greatest hits and Bob and Doug McKenzie's Great White North on cassette! Good times....
