I am watching "Secrets of the Dead" on PBS. It is the World's Biggest Bomb episode. Everytime they say US Bomb I think of punk rock. When I read Operation Ivy I thought punk rock... What is wrong with me?

Nothing at all.  You just have good taste in music.

My first ever tape (yes, tape) was the Misfits, Walk Among Us.

Would that be Cassette or 8 Track?  Either way, I remember trying to rewind the tape back into the reel when they would get jammed and all unwound.  Good times.  LOL.
