I think we might be developing Dell Dementia . I hope it's not terminal .

It's not. It's VGA.

Lol. Lots of funny posts.

I drank a lot of beer last night. No Trans Am appeared. I passed out on the couch. I actually threw up when I tried to eat breakfast. Then I got a speech from my Dell about how I'm a bad father, I'm disgustingly fat, and things can't go on like this. And what can I say? It's all true. I tried to explain that I was just trying to drink happiness, but my cold Dell with its Pentium precision wasn't buying any of my bullshit.

I also bought tickets to the Kiss farewell tour. So I've got that going for me. Somehow I bought four tickets. None of my friends want to go. I pleaded with them. Kiss has like at least four good songs I said. But conversation ends like a fish wriggling free from my hands and I realize, I'm surrounded by people, but always alone.

Four good songs? Let's see: Detroit Rock City, Rock n Roll All Nite, Lick It up, Heaven's On Fire?

You've missed the great opportunity to buy tickets for a different artist:
Adele

IMHO, the best Trans Am music is this

I despair sometimes! The only group I ever considered worth paying full price to see was The Eagles, when Joe Cocker was playing with them 😀

I got to experience Alan Parsons Project live before the plague came upon us . RIP Eric Woolfson .

Saw Queen during their "Bicycle" tour back in summer 1980. They were the supposed to be opened by some no name group that did not show so they played for 3+ hours.
Best concert for the money back then. Saw tons of other concerts from 1977 thru 1about 990 plus a few later but that one always sticks as the best for me.

I would have loved to see them in those years . The closest I'll get is a DVD (just saw a Blu Ray is available, cool!) of the 1981 Montreal concert .

I purposefully avoided those heaps back in the day mainly because of the proprietary shit they did with their hardware.

also, I think OP had a stroke. you alright Dude? smell toast?

And as Kiss is my witness, I'm gonna buy another Trans Am. And I'm gonna drink until it comes true.

A Pentium 4 Dell is a lot like a Trans Am. The serious modern world may scoff at it with judgmental derision, but it does the job with enthusiasm and noise.
I hotrodded a similar system and named it "Eleanor"
Gone in 60 Seconds - Eleanor.jpg
admittedly not a Trans Am but I'm with you in spirit.

Very well put!
