Dodge...as for now they really don't exist at all when you take into account that they are 5 years behind on technology...

My recent cigarette

My beer

My membership to the local strip club

Pubic hair in the porn industry

I still have my membership card..

I also have my old WRIF D.R.E.A.D. card, too.

Is anyone else here old enough to remember WABX, or CKLW?

Good Detroit radio shows, stations, and DJs are extinct. The only one I listen to anymore, is the Alice Cooper Hour. Emo, Screamo, and booty music get on my nerves.

I used to show up an hour before they opened just to watch that rollerblading club skate south on Woodward. Seriously, there must've been over a hundred of 'em!

Don't remember that but then a bunch of us used to hang out at The Zone Coffeehouse in Dearborn before we would head out to The Chamber.

I listened to Mojo flying the spaceship in every night faithfully all through my teen years... just became a fan on that hotbed of nostalgia, Facebook. And yeah, can remember WABX, CKLW, and also W4... the ancient footlocker that I just threw out a few years ago still had WABX and W4 stickers on it.

Speaking of no longer extant music related things... how 'bout those plastic 45 record adapters? I had a sticker of one on my old car... great indicator of people's ages. Those under age 25 or so usually thought it was some kind of "tribal" symbol.

:rofl: well, I don't know which would be worse; that or actually being able to work an 8-track cart player.

Respect for Queen...but I guess the people making fun of the band are kinda stupid considering they always say "that lead singer dude was really gay"...DUH!

Not quite gone yet. A lot of us were raised in the "20-Year Reign," of Queen. Still one of my favorite bands.

Yeah but everyone on my floor and at home gives me crap for listening to them...it sucks! So I didn't grow up in the 70's and 80's...I can still love the music right?

Oh, and my cassette player no longer exists which really sucks because I just got a giant box of old, unopened cassettes from the 80's...damn!

Absolutely. It shows good taste. Welcome to reasonable music (unlike modern pop music/hip-hop that seems both misogynist and worse than fluff.)

Thank you...I was starting to lose hope. Yeah, music today really sucks...and how many bands today have a song about bicycles set to a video of naked girls riding bikes?

At the moment I'm missing my friend who now lives in Seattle. He would probably have liked city, if only for the creepy atmosphere. Me, him, my brother and one other friend of ours would have made for an interesting CC trio. Sigh...

All-day continuous martial arts triple features at the Fox theater. The pre-restoration Fox, where rats of near-ROUS dimensions scampered up and down the aisles and your feet stuck to the never-cleaned morass of spilled drinks and body fluids on the floor... and the onscreen action was counterpointed by the snores and groans of numerous homeless persons... or just plain "bums" and "winos" as we called them back then. Ah, the good old days...
