The following questions are meant to elicit a sense of your rock ‘n roll values and experiences. Your gut answers are requested – don’t think too hard! For newcomers to the Halls of Rock, this is an occasional exercise we conduct to get to know each other better and to open possible new avenues of exploration. There’s not always a unifying theme, but today’s theme is Formative Musical Experiences. Let’s get to it, shall we?
When did you first notice that you related to music in a way that was different than how other family members or kids related to it?
What record do you most regret not buying when you had the chance?
Who’s the first rock ‘n roll artist/band you recall disliking profoundly?
What’s the earliest rock ‘n roll stand you can recall taking – you know, a time when you made a point of putting your neck on the line and telling other folks what needed to be said regarding a crucial musical issue?
What piece of useless rock trivia does your mind retain to the probable detriment of remembering more important things, like what you’re supposed to get at the grocery store or the date of your anniversary? (For instance, I know The Boss’ birthday despite never having been a big fan of Him and His music, yet I forget forget the birthdays of relatives almost monthly.)
What songs/artists do you associate with your earliest make-out sessions?
I look forward to your your responses.
