[excerpt from an article lauding vinyl records. Was the band the Eagles? Well, they weren't just a "big enough deal" in 1977, they were/are big for decades. The way she phrased it, I imagine a band that was only hot for a shorter period of time]

So we’re listening to a slightly warped edition of Three Dog Night’s “Harmony” ($2), and my mom picks up “Rumours” in its sleeve. It came out in 1977, the same year I was born. My parents were friends with a pretty famous rock band back in the ’70s. They shall remain nameless, but they were a big enough deal that members of KISS were backstage at a show in New York City that year, and my mom was there too.

“Is that Stevie Nicks?” she asks, looking at the photo of the singer and Mic Fleetwod in their ballerina shoes on the cover.

She goes on to tell us how she started talking with one of her friends in the unnamed band, and he started bragging about his relationship with Stevie Nicks.

My mother was 24 and I was a few months old, her first child, and her friend didn’t bother to ask about me.

“Who gives a s--- about Stevie Nicks?” my mom says. “I just had a baby!”

I don’t know the last time my mom made me laugh so hard.
