“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” - Groucho MarxWhat’s the best piece of advice you ever received?

KISS Alive, a double album with full gatefold cover back when vinyl was neither hip nor of great quality, but at least better than 8-track tapes (and the younger folks will need to Google that reference).
