Reply #9: Old enough to know what was going on, not young enough to do those things

[Amerigo Vespucci]

My parents pretty much raised me as an adult coming straight out of the womb. I had a "childhood," if you want to call it that, but I have no real memories of being a child...I also have a photographic memory that stuns most of the people who know me. If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me "How the hell did you remember THAT," I'd be sipping exotic rum drinks out of a pineapple on some God-forsaken island in the South Pacific. My ability to remember things from decades ago, down to the smallest possible detail, truly seems to stun people.

The "Summer of Love" made such a profound impact on me that I have a "Summer of Love" mix CD I keep in the car, and the playlist on iTunes, and I listen to one or the other at least once a week. I cheated with a couple that are 1968 "wobblers," but otherwise, it's my vision of the perfect soundtrack:

01. Love / Alone Again Or
02. The Grateful Dead / Cold Rain And Snow
03. Quicksilver Messenger Service / The Fool
04. The Yardbirds / Happenings Ten Years Time Ago
05. The Byrds / My Back Pages
06. Buffalo Springfield / Hung Upside Down
07. Jefferson Airplane / She Has Funny Cars
08. The Rolling Stones / Ruby Tuesday
09. Butterfield Blues Band / East-West
10. The Doors / Light My Fire
11. The Beatles / Magical Mystery Tour
12. The Who / I Can See For Miles
13. The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Are You Experienced?
14. Big Brother & The Holding Company / Ball And Chain
