And you've brought me back to a childhood memory of my older brother, age 13 with a big smile on his face, brought me into the closet where he had a portable cassette player and a newly acquired copy of Raw, and we listened to it and had our vocabulary suddenly expanded to a new level.


Lol, the level of secrecy we had back in those days, no two-way headphones, no phones, just had to scurry into corners to do the things our parents would say are bad, even though they did them just in their own scurried away corners. Thank you for sharing this story :-D


I was about that age when I discovered one of my Dad's records from Bill Cosby.

I had never considered that "Damnit" and "Jesus Christ" could be misconstrued as the names of two children.

I almost passed out laughing so hard at that album.

Sometime later, I discovered his Iron Butterfly album, which also changed my world.
