My mommy let this pre-teen buy KISS, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Aerosmith. I turned out just fine. Right? Thought so.
By the time I was a full fledged teenager, I already had the genesis of my music collection well underway. While my contemporaries were all agog over Hall & Oates, I was immersed in Motorhead. They had their Debbie Gibson, I was cranking Judas Priest.
Ah, youth. *puts on some Ted Nugent to liven up the office*
