I was 19 when it was released. I was bullied at school and found it difficult to socialize. At the local skatepark someone spray-painted “Shake Down 1979” on the ramp. By chance one night I met the girl who painted it and we spoke for hours about our love of the Pumpkins. It helped to bring me out of my shell. The graffiti has long since faded away but my memories and love of this album never have.
