  ... Thinking back to 1979...
"My son once asked me what that year was like and I took him to a diner that had a juke box. I put in $5.00 worth of quarters and had it play My Sharona 20 times in a row. We walked out mid way through the third playing, I told him that if he imagined that sound, only 10 times as loud, for 3 months non stop he would have captured that summer perfectly."

PS... We still go to that diner, but they do not let me play with the juke box anymore.
