There's a special technique I'v found for really appreciating the music of one's messpent youth. So far it only owrks with music - and I can't really see it happening with soft drinks (pop or soda for those across the water!)

Have a middling bad day - too bad and you'll just go to bed early.

Have your partner be away.

Start drinking just a little bit too early.

Watch a late night documentary about anything related to the era in question - it's best if the documentary can have just a couple of snippets of the music in question.

Stumble around and find the album in question and play it. Slightly too loudly.

I can guarantee that you will love it at least as much as you remember.

My most recent was Uriah Heep. Great band.

Share and enjoy.
