  1. If I had known the history of alcoholism in my family, and my predisposition to it, I probably would have never taken that first drink. I wasted a lot of time and money on that stuff. The thing I regret most, though, is the way I hurt everyone in my life. It's not that I feel bad for me. I acted like an idiot and got everything I deserved. I feel bad for them, because they did nothing to deserve what they got.

    Some alcoholics keep private the fact that they are alcoholics, and that's fine. I don't. It doesn't define me, it's just part of who I am. I don't beat people over the head with it.

    However, I probably wouldn't be as appreciative of what I have now if I had never traveled that road. I wake up every day, happy, centered, and I kiss my wife and kids while they're still asleep before I leave for work. I'm the luckiest guy out there, and I know it. I laugh everyday.

    So some good did come from it. Still in all, if I could go back, I'd have never started.

  2. I don't think anything today will be called "Classic Rock", because there's only one genre of classic rock.

    From like, 67 , maybe stretching into 81, or 82. Then it became '80's music', with a style and sound all it's own. It wasn't rock, and it's not called classic rock. Oh, sure, there were rock acts in the 80s, but what is that genre called? Big Hair Metal. Not classic rock.

    Then there was the explosion of rap, grunge, etc, etc, and that's what they'll all be known as.

    There's only one genre known as classic rock. And I was fortunate enough to grow up with it. :coolio:
