When I am asked for my ID, I say, "For you, I know I need to pull out my best fake." It always makes them laugh. I might be old enough to have had a legal beer or two along the way, but I can still play along with the young ones.
My mother won a console stereo at the St. Joseph's Catholic Church Sodality raffle. 4 LP's were included: Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," Babe's in Toyland soundtrack Herb Albert's "Tijuana Brass" and Hank Williams "Greatest Hits." We listened to them on repeat for years. Lawrence Welk's Christmas album eventually made the cut. That was my music education and why I probably love classical, country and bossa nova - and perhaps why my husband is still trying to get me to listen to Dylan.
The Hank Williams record was a gem, at least. My parents were fans of James Last and those of that ilk. However, my brother would often take over the stereo with Frank Zappa records.

You clearly have a much sweeter nature than I.

Your brother would have be banned from using the stereo record player! And I thought you were going to select "Forever Young" for your song choice!
I also have it on good authority that driving a El Camino in High school in the 80’s was decidedly uncool. I knew a kid who tried it…
But Herb Alpert. Yes!! A big fan. Also the remixed version of that album. Have you heard it? Did you (as the kids once said), “dig it?” https://youtu.be/LhRX-5OaZxM?si=0qD74KQGAK4qaH1N
That's the first time I heard this. It's a lot of fun.
