Just be honest.<\/p>\n<p>I regret not buying <em>Never Mind the Bollocks, Here&#8217;s the Sex Pistols<\/em> on vinyl within a few years of its release. For years I was content to listen to friends&#8217; and roomates&#8217; copies, saving my precious few dollars for buying other records that no one in my circle of friends owned. Then, by the time I felt I should own the album myself, CDs were out and I didn&#8217;t want to be confused with some yuppie asshole who was coming late to the party. Cool record store clerks keep track of that stuff, you know. To this day I do not own <em>Never Mind the Bollocks, Here&#8217;s the Sex Pistols<\/em>. I keep thinking I&#8217;ll find a used, worn copy at some out of the way location, where my latecomer purchase may not be recognized and reported by <strong>The Cool Patrol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In round-robin fashion, let&#8217;s share our rock &#8216;n roll regrets.
