The first CD I ever bought was when I was 12 years old. Jon Scoville was the coolest kid my age in the neighborhood. And he is also responsible for teaching me 75% of what I currently know about sex.

NOT THAT I KNOW WHAT THAT IS CATHIE!!!

Truthfully, most of what he told me about sex is not even true.

NOT THAT I KNOW WHAT IS TRUE, CATHIE!!!

I was at his house one Saturday morning after spending a few very unfortunate days camping with the Boy Scouts of America. Then the following exchange happened:

Jon: Do you like the band Bush?

Eli: I love Bush. They are like the most amazing band. (Says Eli, who has never in his life heard of Bush).

Jon: Good. Buy this CD from me for 8 dollars.

Eli: I will totally buy that from you for 8 dollars. Because I love Bush, the band.

Then I bought that CD from Jon Scoville for 8 dollars. Because I was willing to pay any amount at that point to be a somewhat cool kid in the hood. And then I carried it home on my finger, because it didn't have a case.

So now I want to know: what was the first CD or cassette tape YOU bought? And what were the circumstances?
