20/20 - 20/20

This was an album I have loved for years and years. I had a buddy who I played guitar with once in a while, and we figured were were a band. Just two guitar players who didn't write, or sing, or have a bass player, or drummer. Didn't matter. We were a band. We could play "Don't Look Back" by Boston ... sort of. Which was to us, a pretty big deal. It was Andrew who introduced me to some pretty cool music. He got me into Harlequin and he played me 20/20's song "Yellow Pills" which blew my mind. This was probably early in 1980, because well ... it was. I had been down at the second hand store, probably looking for Robert A. Heinlein books, because I loved his books, and boy were there a lot of them. I would read Clarke and Asimov too, but Heinlein was my jam. When I was there I stumbled upon a cassette copy of 20/20, and I hemmed and hawed and then put it back. I wanted the record ... but there was no record, only a cassette.  Ick. I rode my bike home ....
