If I could send this back in time...

I wish I had this book 2 years ago when I got it in my head that my friends and I could start an aquaponics company in Manhattan. We would have kept our money tighter, bargained like pros, and followed the thrill of risk all on its advice. With crisp and often funny prose, Mehta lays out what makes Entrepreneurs' brains tick; the thrill of risk and the glow of success. She gives great everyday examples of people that took what they loved and ran with it past the naysayers, hurdles, and venture capitalists all the way to self made success. If the lessons in the second half of the book don't get you itching to quit your desk job, well, I guess you just don't have the Instinct.

I remember riding my bike downtown on sunny Saterday  mornings to  the local record store. I would walk up and down the hardwood floors fingering through hundreds of vinyl lps. So much fun. I only wish now that I would have taken pictures of that little shop. It is where I purchased so many of my first albums, and the tickets to my first concerts. This book takes me right back to that time period. Just like so many wonderful things we take for granted these mom and pop shops are sadly disappearing. I am glad to hear that there is a bit of a comeback in the lp. We all have that desire to travel back in time, music has such a way of doing that. Where did so many of us get that music? At  our favorite record store. Great book to own or gift.

This game encompasses its time (The 50's) in a way very few mediums have done... If you want to be transported to another time and place this is an inmersive, a bit complex but fun, and amazing graphics (if you have the power)... I didn't find the copy protection to be intrusive, so much that I can't even remember what it was. I guess you need internet, well too bad!!! Also you have to face it, pirates are moving gaming companies not to produce for PCs. If on top of this you rate games badly, well let's go and buy a Wii or an Xbox360 and go back to playing games for children and with graphics from 2005... !!!!

Talk about your trips down memory lane!  Hoo boy, does this one ever take me back across the decades.  I was a teenager when these gentlemen first began massacring music which, as most of you know, meant I could not afford to get this LP.  Another obstacle was my parents who just somehow could not see (hear?) the comedy of this and subsequent recordings by this group.  Inasmuch as I was on the backstage squad in high school and had survived many episodes with the school's orchestra and band, the Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band (Whom I feel were a bit better, actually) reminded me of these times.  Now that I finally acquired this record, my collection of these musical murderers is complete.  Yes, I still have a turntable and I still love my old 33's and 45's.  By the way, if you're into musical mayhem you're going to love this series.  I know I certainly do.

I am sure that many people who will read this review can remember back to when the "United States" was supplying aid to "Africa" back in the 1980s.  Of-course the 1980s have long-since passed.  But if you are looking for any kind of momento of the decade of the 1980s, then you may want to consider purchasing this MP3!!!.

...In all of my years of buying and selling cd's, Talk Talk are one of the few bands from the 80's that always remained in my mind.  At the time of each release I was happy beyond description.  The band was always setting the bar higher than anyone else.  However, time passes, new music comes in and encourages us to forget what used to be.  But, there in the darkness seeps that sound that few musicians or bands can ever attain.  That sound that is timeless, even if we can say that it is dated (due to the synths, and style).
In my new pursuit to regain that magical music that once said so much to me, I happened upon this collection and snagged it right away (at 11.99$, why not) and was instantly swept back into that time, that season, that period that time stood still for.
Sure, all that best are not accounted for, which makes it even better.  This is a great place to wet you appetite for a time of wonder and awe inspiring thought.
Thanks, EMI, for finally doing something that is GOOD for a band that helped you label so much!  It is about time!

This book was definitely enjoyable and I loved every minute of it.  It's hard to imagine what times were like back then but I'll gladly take this version of it.

This is awesome music from the time period in music.  I truly miss hearing them on the radio. Today's music is just bad.  Great set of songs!! I will enjoy this for many years to come!!!!!

It's powerful, but actually if I could go back in time I would have gotten something even more powerful, because it's still sliiiightly on the weak side, in my opinion.

This CD I purchased on impulse, I had a very narrow viewpoint of what would be on it.
Boy was I wrong !!

Growing up I watched Laurel and Hardy with my grandfather and my dad, this CD swept me back to those great days. Most of the music is very familiar to me, and I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone who enjoys old movies to get this and take a trip back in time.

As a native son of Seattle, I can testify to the genuine nostalgic goodness of the program on this tape, despite the fact that pretty much all of the things that the interviewees reminisce about were gone before my time (that is, the '70s), things like Bobo the Gorilla (who had been stuffed and was on display in the also now-gone original Museum of History and Industry), the Aqua Theater (in my time a crumbling hulk, fenced-off and filled with broken beer bottles), Sick Stadium (I vaguely recall its demolition sometime when I was in elementary school, I think). That said, this is still a fascinating look (via old photos, home movies and other documentary footage) at a world long gone and never to be retrieved.

Now if only someone would make a 'sequel' about all the stuff that I remember that's not there anymore, like all the cool stuff that used to be at the Seattle Center - the Fun Forest  (remember the Flight to Mars? yeah, as a ride, it seriously sucked, but still...you couldn't beat that come-on exterior), the Bubble-ator in the Food Circus (which also had a roomful of player pianos on the lower level), that crazy miniature golf course with the giant pink elephant wearing eyeglasses and clutching a martini glass in his trunk...ahh, the REAL good old days.

I was 11 years old when this Album was made. It inspired me to become an Historical re-enactor, which I have done for the past 32 years.(Though I re-enact the RevWar era).

 I spent many days with the Fine recording truck,and my grandfather (William Decker...listed in the small booklet in the album), and also have an original transparency foto taken by him of one REVIEWER NAMED " A MUSIC FAN" , him firing the cannon on the album cover.

 I am immeasurably Happy to get this album in CD, the original I have is an old worn out LP record. If A MUSIC FAN has a way to write another review of this...I can contact him??? and share a few stories.
