(18,837 posts)52. The White Album
In Massachusettts, there are basically two types of basements / cellars. The first is largely unfinished, a real "cellar" of sorts (that's what my parents had). The second is the fully finished "rec room." One of my friends had the "rec room." He and I and one other friend used to hang out there and listen to The White Album, Wheels of Fire, Disraeli Gears, Cosmo's Factory, Anthem Of The Sun, the first Velvets album, the first Doors album, Surrealistic Pillow...we also formed a band before any of us could really play. Many less-than-pleasant memories of growing up in a small town in Massachusettts. This was one of the pleasant ones.
