Remember when...

Remember when you were a kid and you could rattle off every song, almost every lyric of your metal collection? I could tell you every song title off every cassette I had, release years, most lyrics, yadda yadda. Well ,it seems like I have lost this mystical power. I sometimes just refer to songs as "Track number X". It doesn't mean I like the music any less, I'm just not able to retain any new information for some reason.

Are some of you older guys the same way?

Same here. I used to be able to tell you when to stop side A of Def Leppard's Hysteria in order to get it to start just before any song on side B, and vice versa. I'd listened to the album that many times, that I just learned that. I never set out to figure it out, but just playing it all the time and flipping the tape over to hear this or that song somehow got me to subconsciously learn all that.



That is BADASS!!!!
