When Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness came out in October of 1995 I was 14 years old. I was in 8th grade and It was Halloween. I was going to go trick or treating with my girlfriends who enjoyed grunge music, flannels and smoking. I was going dressing up as girl that year so I put on one of my Moms dresses and hid it under my clothes so she couldn’t see. I rode my bike to my friend Carries house, I had the cassette tape to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in my walkmen and listened to it on my bike ride to her house on a cold halloween evening. After we trick or treated I had to ride home in the dark listening to that album. This is one of the best memories of my life.
