#OTD1987

Posted 10 years ago today:

Twenty-three years ago today we got out of school early for Christmas holiday and so we piled into BP's car to go to Richmond to wander around the mall for a few hours, but before we left town I popped into Doc's, which inexplicably had The Ramones newest album, Halfway to Sanity.

Not a great album, to be sure. But a lot better today than I thought at the time. While it's predecessor Animal Boy featured almost absurdly high highs and ridiculously low lows, Halfway to Sanity didn't have nearly the same highs, but is maybe a bit more consistent from start to finish.
