They remember that music was record on black 12" diameter discs, known as LPs.

bought their music on Albums..to play on a record player or hi-fi had a crush on one of the Hudson Brothers...... Davey Jones ......... played pong....... went on first date at the local Skate Land ........ Remembers when Hardee's was Mr. Quick........ thought mood rings were serious jewelry .......... said things like Right ON , Heavy Man , Far Out...... Knew it was wrong for a JW brother to wear any colored shirt other than white........ wore matching teardrop with bar across the top glasses that turned dark in sunlight.... snuck out of the house to dance at a Disco..........

Rocky Horror Picture Film

The Rocky Horror Picture Show still plays in many areas, late nights, with people acting out the entire show down in front.

Here is a fan site.

If you've never seen it live, I would highly recommend going sometime to get your cherry popped.
