Wasn’t driving yet. I coulda been out running 10-15 miles or in the woods birdwatching or getting drunk at my cousin’s house.

Or maybe drooling over the guns in the Western Auto catalogue or drooling over the women in the Sears catalogue.

Never was an Elvis fan. Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton were more my style.

The only concerts we saw were TV; on the Midnight Special, Saturday nights, I forget if they were before or after Chiller Theater.
