The summer of 99 with Blink182

June 23rd, 2009

In the summer of 1999, when I was eleven, I bought a cd player at the local hi fi shop. It cost most of the fifty dollars I had earned trimming neighbors’ gardens that summer at seventy five cents an hour. I spent many long and fruitful afternoons in my room, listening to CD’s: Blink 182, Def Leppard, Shania Twain, Keith Urban. I didn’t listen particularly loud, at least not in comparison to my college days when I actually set my speakers on fire by blasting up the volume too high, but the noise was apparently too much for my parents.
