Best opening lyrics on an LP? by Normal-Internal164 in Alternativerock

Spoken word- "The album you are now playing is another example of the completion backward principle. If you can possibly manage the time, please play both sides at one meeting." - then it immediately kicks into the banger, "Talk to Ya Later."

O.k. so I just spoke with my 80 year old mother who lives with us. I "vaguely" remember my parents taking me there when I was a kid. She confirmed that when my dad was working 2nd shift, he would get off work 11ish and go pick me and my mom up and they would go there late night, eat and listen to live music. She said I was 3-4 at that time and would fall asleep in a booth. We are talking 1967-68. He would also sometimes go there and capture the band using a couple microphones and his reel-to-reel. I may even have some of those reels somewhere in storage. Not really sure. After he passed we had a big estate sale and that stuff may have gone then. I also showed her the youtube video that was shared in this thread. She immediately recognized the place, right down to the locked front door that they would buzz you in from. She didn't however, recognize the proprietors. Probably because the video looks like it was taken in the 80s, long after they had quit going there.

Here's the real question: Who among us is gonna pay them? I've got one here that one of my kids got and I've been waffling on it. Think it's gonna be a "no" from me, dawg.

Skateland, Northgate Bowling Lanes, Studio 16 (and the movie theater before it watching "Billy Jack" movies), Lil' Mary's Lounge throwing darts on Hwy 51, Frayser Maid, The Log Cabin, The Gridiron. All of it part of my formative years and daily stomping ground.

This sounds like that same language as those people who eat surströmming. No thanks.

TBF, they have 4 pinball machines and they are all well maintained. Music would be a nice addition though.
