Gawd I feel old.
CD's are 25 years old?

CD celebrates 25th anniversary - CNN.com

I can still remember when Pong sold for $125 and my dad would take me to the Tube Tester at the local drug store.

I'd forgotten about those Tube Testers.

I remember the first kid to get one of those LED watches that had red numbers and you had to hold down the button to get them to light up. I also remember learning to use a slide rule in Jr. High.

I actually have a tube tester in my studio. It even has the paper sheets that tell you how to set the knobs for the different tubes.

I'm an artist. I have a lot of weird junk.

That Nelsen image is all that is wrong with Rock n Roll.

Blue jeans and a t-shirt is Rock n Roll.
