DIShGo Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Many a Saturday night J. Geil's "Freeze Frame" was lodged in my car's cassette player as my high school friends and I drove around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The memory that comes to my mind is of my algebra class crush, Sissy. Those soft fuzzy sweaters, too magical to touch... "Centerfold" As I grew older, I realized "Love Stinks", so I just stay home and play with my "Whammer Jammer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 The absolutely best rock concert I was ever at was a free outdoor concert at the Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade in 1970. I had just recently arrived in Boston to start my university education, and the J. Geils Band, which was sort of a BU band and had just become really big, gave a free concert as a sort of thank-you to Boston. They weren't the best rock band around, but that concert was just totally electric, and one of the best bits of my life. The energy emanating from the stage shook me to pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
