Was Live Bullet the album from which the version of 'Turn the Page' the radio plays came from?
Yes it is he also sang that song when he was inducted into the Rock Hall of fame along with the Silver bullet band. I love live albums I also have Grand Funk live when on Mark, Don, and Mel, they are another Michigan band.

I have a rare download - don't ask from where! lol - of the studio version of Turn the Page. A revelation, for me, after hearing the live version time and time again in rotation on classic rock stations.

Generally speaking, I thought cars got uglier starting around the 1970s and this trend continued until some point in the 2000s. I think cars today look nice, and I also like the look of classic cars from the 1940s, 50s and other decades before the 70s. Let's take a look at the Toyota Camry from different decades...

1982:











I think cars today are great in terms of aesthetics, performance, efficiency, etc. Better than ever. It'd still be cool to have some select classic cars, though.

If you think this is ugly, you need to get glasses

The only 'ugly' things in that photo are those wagon-wheels. Taer 'em off!

I had a 280zx at the time and found it pretty darn nice. It was a great car.

That car is from the 60s that may have carried into the 70s. Now look at the 1976 version of the same car and you'll see the problem.

Exactly. The early 70's still had some decent styling. Once we got into the mid, and late 70's...Ugh.

It's subjective. There are some very cool looking cars from the 70's and 80's that are still very sought after and have actually increased in value.
