.... ****!  I'm such a stereotype.  I guess that's why Tonic for the Troops is such a great album

In some ways that's a strange premise. 

But I will agree with him that this is why people get so passionate about the music that they listened to in those teenaged years.  It is a time when we are awakened to new ideas, beliefs and we are supposed to be forming the core of who we are now.

Peace & take care,

I must have been advanced for my years then.  I've remained loyal since the age of 12. Pre-teen

Cazzy it is good to hear he is as inspirational to you now at 15 as he was to ArrGee and me way back then when we were teenagers and pre-teens!

=] yeah i'm so glad i came across his music and this forum. you guys are really great! it's been awesome talking to people who share a love for bob's work. i dread to think what i'd be like if hadn't found his music x[ i think it really shows how moving (if thats the right word) he is when you can see how many people through the ages are and have been inspired by him. =))

Yes, really glad to have found this forum too and to talk with similar devotees!

I was almost 13 when the obsession got A Hold of Me. I have never let it Drag me Down though, even though I listen to them Like Clockwork.

So the idea this psychologist is wrong - Never in a Million Years!

The Rats first entered the charts August 1977 the same year I started secondary school. The Rats music and lyrics have always been sufficiently interesting, complex and meaty to outlive those teenage years and largely remain relevant to adult tastes, without any real trace of sentimentally or wishing for some long lost past.

Certainly I've never had the slightest inclination to 'disown' the music, or I wouldn't feel embarrassed about telling anyone about how good the Rats were. So it's not loyalty for the sake of loyalty rather a genuine fascination with the music because it's worthy of that devotion and interest. It it wasn't I wouldn't be here writing about it.

Not sure about that statement. I experienced my classmate's sister but haven't been in touch for over 30 years...
