Lift Me Up

Emma saved up her tokens (I'll explain the token economy in another post) and bought her first CD ever. Hotel by Moby. She's been listening to it over and over.  It got me thinking about my first musical purchase. Of course, it was not a CD, it was a cassette. My apologies to all you older folks, it was not vinyl or an 8-track. Formats aside, I still remember plunking down my hard earned allowance money for that copy of Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry at the Zayre. What was the first piece of music that appealed to you enough to influence a purchase? Is it as embarrassing as mine? Leave a comment.

  • Older, eh. Your older wife actually saved up her allowance and spent 99 cents on a vinyl 45 of "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney & Wings.

  • If its the one I'm thinking of (with Enter Sandman) it was self titled but, the cool kids referred to it as "The Black Album". That came out in 1991, are you sure we're thinking of the same one? I don't want to give away your age or anything :)
