I am 100% with you on this. But for me, it is really just a case of living in the wrong time. I should have been born about 30 years earlier. Back when a recording studio was manned by guys in lab coats who looked like they worked on the manhattan project, (and not some long haired dude doing lines of coke off the mixer console). Back when you went to a fake Polynesian restaurant, and they had all kinds of food coloring that caused cancer, MSG and no such thing as fusion or a wrap. When Ike was president. When music was jazz. When the only tattoos you saw were on sailors. When going on a diet meant eating a sandwich. When you couldn't trust anyone over 30, and I was over 30.
