Oh yes, indeed I do remember those days . . . but I also remember minimum wage was something along the lines of $3/hour, so you were still working an entire day to take a date to a concert by the time you paid for the tickets, parking, gas . . . two days if you were buying beer/food at the concert.
Ozzy was a trailblazer, no doubt. But you knew he lost his bad boy image and was now mainstream when "Crazy Train" was in the soundtrack for MegaMind . . . lol . . . still can't hear that song (or "Welcome to the Jungle" for that matter) without remembering that movie.
