8. In middle school I had a friend who came from a traditional working class white Catholic family. One day we were poking through his dad's records, and there among the Alabama and Kenny Rogers LPs was Funkadelic's "One Nation Under a Groove." It turns out 14-year-old boys are powerless against cartoon boobs and songs with titles like, "The Doo-Doo Chasers." This record took us someplace entirely new.
