The original Sony Playstation 2 units had problems with the lasers. PS One discs were black, early PS2 discs were a blue/violet, and original DVDs were gold. After a few years the lasers wore out and could only read silver colored discs (later DVDs and games).

Anyone else remember the highlighter trick to "fix" scratched CDs? I would draw lines away from the center of the CD w/ a highlighter then wipe away from center. It worked but would have to be done over every so often. Unsure if it mattered that it was a highlighter or if it was simply cleaning the CD.

The members of Bubble Puppy were stoned while watching the Beverly Hillbillies. Granny was asked what was for dinner and she said Hot Smoke and Sasafrass. And that is where the band got the name for the song.

The only Eric Carmen solo record I have is Boats Against The Current, which I got from a cutout bin for 50¢ in the eighties. I've listened to it once or twice, but never loved it. I love Eric Carmen's good stuff, and I want to love this album, but I can't.

I've never heard his first solo album. The soft rock hits on it aren't songs I ever want to listen to on purpose. But No Hard Feelings sounds like the Raspberries. The album might be worth $1 just for that song
