What a time to be a junior high geek whose family just bought their first VCR.
And that’s on top of it being around the same time a direct market comic shop opened within biking distance of my house.
And the local pool hall and bowling alley added arcade games to their floor space.
And I found a deeply discounted copy of the D&D Basic Set on the shelf at Osco Drug.
And A UHF music video channel started up in the Boston media market.
And I had a shoulder length rat-tail and wore a Scorpions raglan.
Recommended listening: Weird. I didn’t think heaven would smell so much like Aqua Net and cloves.
