5. I remember the day. We knew the album was coming out and waited at the local record store for it to open.

They got ten copies. My friends and I bought the first four.

Rushed home and listened to it on our family console record player.

Music was never the same for me. One of my Top Ten of all time.

Listening to it today, in my 70s, realizing that my Mom was probably aghast at the lyrics. I'm one of those that often ignore the lyrics and just like the music.
