It was all a new thing to us. And back then, it was all underground (until it finally broke the surface after a couple of years). There was nothing like sitting on your front porch or in the cafeteria at school with those big ass boom boxes listening to the shit. And best of all, it was (for the most part) peaceful.

I can't knock another for not being there. I can't knock another for what he/she feels is the best in their ears. So again, I offer up an apology to bstone if he feels I was knocking his opinion. I wasn't. I was just knocking, in my opinion, the artist in question. Later, QD.
That was all well said
I really wish I could have experienced the same thing. Growing up in the 80's was the closest I got to it all. But sounds like I missed out on a lot. But all in all I can totally relate to how music just magically has this overwhelming feeling over your whole body. Maybe that's why I listen to what I listen to. It speaks to my heart or what have you. Music affects different people different ways.
