Back in the day it wasn't called "classic," it just was....ROCK!
How bout Bad Company? Or Bloomfield, Cooper and Stills? Better yet: Ultimate Spinach, Butterfield Blues Band, Sammy Hagar, Jethro Tull... oh my god...I need a hit of some Purple Haze... Orange Sunshine would be a blast from the past...oh Black Cat wine would cause me to sit up too, Remember sitting around getting stoned and laughing at the "Dave's not here" routine from Cheech and Chong? Remember that huge Bamboo Roller that came with the album Entitled "Bamboo?" Remember trying to lick enough papers togather to build the one joint that would surpass all joints and would work in that damn roller? Remember when you could buy an oz for 25.00 bucks, ( it was sticks and seeds, but it weighed an ounce.) After it was cleaned we used the whole darn bag to "build" that huge joint! MMMM well it was fun while it lasted. Things just got too crazy, and we had to grow up, get real jobs, make babies then raise em. By the time we got to a point in our lives we could do that again nothing was the same, the lingo had changed, the drugs became designer and too damn dagerous for us who knew better, and hell we just go used to being logical.

MMM "Classic" Rock... it hits the spot don't it? It's like an old and trusted friend coming in for a five min. visit... just long to to say..."Remember when?" Then leave ya with your memories.

When you call it classic it makes me feel so old. I'm just old enough to know better but young and dumb enough to still do it.
Didn't the "Up in smoke" album come with a paper to fit that roller? I can't remember. I was too stoned back then.

I don't call it classic, just a term used by radio stations now days to clue me into which stations to listen to. Still better than most Country/Rap (CRAP) music I hear nowadays.

Best I remember, I started out with Uriah Heep, Creedence, Iron Butterfly, and Grand Funk. My first concert was in '75... Styx and Sugarloaf. Black Oak Arkansas, Kiss, and the Doobies fell in there shortly afterward. Got nothing against 1%'ers, but in my minds eye, I kinda think Fonda's rendition of a biker is how I envisioned it ought to be... easy, stoned, and enjoying the road. Kinda always thought of myself as a ol hippie ridin a bike. Just because I had to adjust to keep a job don't mean they can break me.

Shrooms, microdot, and Ti Stick was my poisins of choice... damn I miss the good old days

chesshirecat

Now wasn't that a great band? How bout the Mother's of Invention? We used to drop a few hits of Orange into some Blackcat wine, light the candles and the fire in the fireplace and let that crazy s**t take us where no man has been before... (at least no-one we knew..) mmm I think I'm having a flashback now LOL

Hell yeah! People thought I was crazy as **** for listening to Zappa. Damned nice memories I have of the ol days an all the hell i raised!

I lived in Germany back in the 70's for a few years any way, it was hash. I never even heard of pot until a few years of smoking the black stuff. Never did shrooms until I got stateside, LOOOng after it was popular. Micro dot? That was hard to get there in Gemany. Ti-stick was popular when I got back to the states, but I was too poor for that stuff, had to wait till I met people who could buy it and was willing to shareOh and iron Butterfly... I remember when I brought one of their albums home, my husband and I were listening to it when his folks stopped by. LOL we had it screaming form the quad speakers, and couldnt hear them at the door! LOl were they pissed!

Stickman, one good turn deserves another. At the top of any page, (except home page,) you will see a line of links... (Home page...Disscussion Forums... Search...User CP....) Yeah well click on User CP.... Look on left side of page and it gives you more links in a box... whaaa- hooo... Ok sorry I sometimes get a little excited about new discoveries.... click on the one that mentions the garage, and there you go... have fun stickman... I knew someone here would remember that one.... "After the Gold Rush," Thanks for the info stick man!
By the way, my friends all call me Chessie... Don't be so formal...
Remember when you were just barely out of high school and some little kid would call you "sir?" How awkward that felt? It's the same feeling when people call me Chesshirecat.... you can call me Chess or Chessie... like them both.
Regards,
Chessie
