"Same thing happened to me. My kid's 27 and has all my old vinyl."


Some jerkwad broke into my car in 73 and jacked all my 8 tracks. Man what I'd give to have them back. But, I'd have to find a player too. They also got my Pioneer 4+4 player as well.

Sorry dude! I hate to laugh at your personal misfortune from many moons ago but THAT is the funniest post I've read all day!

I remember 8-tracks : (

My kids listen to Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, Black Sabbath, but don't seen too interested in Zep.

There is a used book, record and tape store in Duluth, MN called "10,000 Books" that has scads of 8 tracks.
I've also seen 8 track players at the local auctions here at the Lake of the Ozarks a couple of times. They always seem to sell for $20 !!

Hola Amigos, it's been a long time since I rapped at ya. But some jerkwad broke into my car and jacked all my 8 tracks, not to mention my mint Pioneer 4X4. The bastards got my Bachman-Turner Overdrive, my REO Speedwagon and even my Molly Hatchet. Did I ever tell you that Molly Hatchet rocks!

Anyhow, lotsa luck finding 8-tracks these days, so the Anchower-man had to break down and get one of them new-fangled CD players for his wheels. But first I had to sell my stash of pot to pay for the damn thing. I was pissed. But the timing actually couldn't be better because the new Zep live-discs just got released on CD! Talk about a band that ROCKS! Yeah, soon as I got those new discs, I got no better way to unwind these days than by puttin' on Led Zeppelin live on the CD player, kicking it into third, and hauling ass down the highway. That album rules! See, Led Zeppelin is made up with Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, the late, great John Bonham and some guy named Jones, and those guys know how to rock and roll.

So, I'm so into this one song from the album called "Dazed and Confused", this is like a whole hour long and it rocks! It is such a rocking song that while out driving around last night, I break one of my cardinal rules by not paying attention to the side of the road. You know, the speed traps that the cops set up when they want to kill an hour or two on their shift so they can eat donuts and drink their coffee. So I fly by this cop doin' about 70 and sure enough, the lights come on and he's got me pulled over. I get my hair all nice and orderly and put on my tired look like I just been through Hell, which I had, so it wasn't so tough.

The cop comes up to my door and I unroll the window and put on my respectful act. "Is there something wrong, officer?," I say all concerned like. The cop's name on his badge is Officer Schwanz, which is funny 'cause he was such a dick. Anyway, he gives me one of those, "You were doin' 70 in a 55 mile per hour zone, son" raps and he was gonna have to ticket me. I was so pissed, but I never let it show. "Thank you sir" is all I say to him, but the moment he turned his back, I flipped him the bird. Cops! If I ever find out where that guy lives, he's gonna wake up some day with a dozen eggs on his front door!

Anyway, there are some other songs on this new Zeppelin album, but I haven't gotten to those yet. I bet they rock just as hard as that Dazed and Confused song. I'll check it out and report back to you later.
