My neighbor is already agitated and running the garbage disposal and I'm just starting! However they can retaliate with reggae.

I was into them in Jr. High.
Around age 14 I switched over to the Grateful Dead, went psychedelic. I rarely listen to the dead now, but Sabbath is still a mainstay.

I would shake his hand, and quickly be off to the other side of Europe. In 1969, Berlin Germany there was a teen who had little time for much other than Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer and Ten Years After.. He was usually pushing the limit of human consumption when it came to the wonderful selection of hash that was available in Berlin back then, hell he was selling it at school for a mere buck a gram-making a tidy profit at that. No, I would ignore the angst ridden drug addled teen, and seek out his parents. Once found, I would take them into the piano room, give them both hugs and let them know how much I dearly miss them both.

11 years after your teen I was living in Hamburg at a Wohngemeinshaft and used to go to a night club where they sold hash. At ten pm the police would come (a ratzia), like clockwork, and the hash would get hidden. They were roughing me up because I didn't have an identity card (what are they called?). I had a xerox of my passport and kept saying I am an American. They finally left me alone. Anyway, your memory triggered my memory. Music really brings back other times so strongly that it's hard to believe those times don't still exist, and in some ways they do.

I can't much remember what was hip then, but I remember the band Can was one. And Nina Hagen.
