40 years ago, I was 17 years old and had just started my senior year of high school. I wasn’t a terrible student, but was definitely more interested in music and friends than my classes at that point. As such, it’s probably safe to say that I spent more time listening to records and reading rock magazines than textbooks. CREEM was one of my favorites of the latter.
