I also remember the temptation of stealing tapes from the store to get music I couldn't afford.

And if you remember the phrase "Please be kind, rewind", you're old like me.
I must rent my DVDs right after you because they are NEVER rewound.

I remember one of my friends got a ghetto blaster that played 8-tracks. Oops. Well, that AC/DC 8-track got a LOT of play.

And speaking of mix tapes, there are still some songs that, when I hear them (now called "oldies" *tear*) I can still recall the song I had coming up next.

And there are songs I taped off radio I can still recall the DJ speaking over the start (or end) of the track.
