8-track retro

I am such a nostalgia dork lately. Maybe it's because my 40th birthday is coming in March. I'm not sure, but I have been trying to re-live my youth by attending 80's concerts, starting lp collections, and now I bought an 8-track player. I found some tapes when i home recently and decided to start collecting those as well.

Some of you young'uns under 35 may wonder (like my bff Renee did), what an 8-track is and why it was even made. I can't answer why they were made, quite frankly the sound sucks and they are not very user friendly. It must have just been a money making fad. However sad and tragic it may be, I have new found pleasure listening to Shaun Cassidy's "Hey Deanie", ABBA's greatest hits, and Helen Ready's "I Am Woman" (still my theme song after all these years). Now if only I can find the Xanadu Soundtrack on 8-track, my life will be complete. Sad isn't it?
