'Sounds of Silence' and 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and
Thyme,' Quad was the only record in their collection
I'd always had my eye on and pounced on as soon as I
got my own record player in December of 2001!  Those
records are mine now and I seriously doubt my parents
care enough to ask for them back!)

>I finally understood Quad.  I was
able to appreciate and relate to it at age 20 the way
I wasn't ready or mature enough to at age 13 or 14,
when I really could have benefitted from it, given the
nightmare I lived through in junior high.  I was the
one who packed my parents' thirty or so records in
that box when we left NY in 1996, so I had it
memorised where I'd put Quad and the Red Album.  I
knew exactly where to grab them from without even
looking, they meant that much to me.  I'm glad I
didn't rush my first time, so to speak, with Quad.


Great post Anna!   Slow consumption is the key to
complete digestion, with fine food and Quad too.
