Whetting the Appetite for Destruction

It truly pained me to see that Guns 'n' Roses' debut album Appetite for Destruction is actually 20 years old now. It reminded me of a moment when I worked in software retail. It was 1992, and we were all excited that we had a CD player in the store, and some killer speakers with which to crank.

I was playing Van Halen's 1984 when someone not much younger than me walked in, cocked his head, and said, "Man, that's some OLD Van Halen!"

Yikes. Embarrassed, I hastily shoved their first album under the counter, hoping maybe he'd think I'd brought in my older brother's music.
