Supertramp: the sound of my teen days!

I was a teen in the middle of the 70's. It was effervescent days for music and for us, teenagers. ''Stairway to Heaven had been released by Led Zeppelin, Stones sang ''Satisfaction'', The Beatles were over, Paul MacCartney did a great success with his new band Wings - Band on the run, Raul Seixas made us fool with Ouro de Tolo and Secos e Molhados carried a lot of people to see them.

We used to meet our friends and hear longplays (LP) in our record players and we went to dance in a garage and we walked to the school all mornings with our mates, we strolled in our bikes, we went on foot to the cinema (the cinemas were in the streets, not in a shopping), DJ was Discotecario, we didn't have msn, cd, dvd, internet and computers. We listened to Am radio and we heard James Taylor -How sweet is your love; Carly Simon-You are so vain, Elton John,Peter Frampton to whom we were in love with.

We were deeply stirred by Dreamer (crime of the century Supertramp). It was our song. In these days we dated, we had a romantic relationship and then we kissed, (do you believe?) and having sex was so far away, Remember: boys didn't use to wear condom, girls going to gynaecology ?only in the moon, your mother could find out, we depended on the chance, When we listened to Dreamer, our hearts blared,our vessels pumped and our desire blew up.
Although it has been a hard time with changes,wishes and desires, it was very good!!!!
I've heard Roger Hodgson ,the lead singer of Supertramp will be here at May 13.
I suggest going to this show, probably you will enjoy it!!!
