I had a mint copy of the Beatles' single, 'Ain't She Sweet', with John singing lead and Pete Best playing drums on the title track. On the B side, the Beatles played backup to Tony Sheridan singing 'Nobody's Child'. It was recorded in 1961 at Hamburg, but wasn't released in the U.S till 1964, after the Beatles had become famous this side of the pond. It later went up in flames, along with my serious (well, for a kid) vinyl collection of '60' rock. I had some pretty esoteric stuff, like Captain Beefheart, early Mothers of Invention, and the earliest Pink Floyd. At least the stuff I'd left behind when I moved out was spared the indignity of the garbage can--it was all carbonized. I know what you mean.

Not sure what I'd do with some of the comics and other things if I had them today, but I have a feeling most of what I basically gave away ended up in the trash.

In the Marvel universe I read anything with Stan Lee's name on it--The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Thor, The X-Men, Iron Man, and of course, Spiderman. In the late '60's I got into The Silver Surfer (I liked him because he was so philosophical, and he had the Power Cosmic, man). In the early '70's I favored underground comix. R. Crumb was my favorite cartoonist. But I was never more than a dilettante, unlike some of my friends, who amassed collections of thousands, with complete series of some of the big names. I still like the '80's D.C. concept of 're-booting' the whole universe. Maybe that's what the Mayans were talking about with their cycles of worlds.
