Gifts for teens:
45s, 45s, 45s. Records, man, records.
Stacks of hot wax that make your feet want to tap.
Shouldn't be too hard to find 45s from that era.
Heck, I have all my mom's old 45s. (But that's only because they're much
better stored and cared for with me.)

And don't forget that cowboy related stiff for junior.

"The ordinary distinctions in society are often vague, and imply no just
pre-eminence: rank and titles are
adventitious things and instead of designating merit or virtue, are
frequently the baubles of imbecility, or
the sparkling decorations of meretricious pageantry"

William Griffith, on behalf, and by order of the New-Jersey Society for
promoting the gradual Abolition
of Slavery, Twelfth Month (December) 20th, 1803
