  3.  NolanVoid-dr1ch  ? Look it up; there's even a Wikipedia page on it, LOL. The Video Game Crash of 1983 was a thing and lots of people have made videos about it. By mid-1983, Atari had lost $356 million and laid off 3,000 of its 10,000 workers. Atari also moved all manufacturing to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Lots of companies went bust and lots of amazing scrap also hit the surplus stores in Silicon Valley. The industry didn't start growing again until 1985. There have been crashes before and there will be more in the future.

  4.  @arm5080  Not weird at all... smart. Steve is one of the best live musicians I've ever had the pleasure to see. Also, who can't help but love Ringo?

  5.  @bigneiltoo  I remember the collapse of the video game industry very well..... back in 1983.

  6. I was constantly told by teachers that I was a moron only to discover the statistical probability that any one of them was smarter based on IQ scores was extremely low and that the statistical probability that they were all smarter as they stood in agreement was astronomically low. Most talented engineers, artists, inventors, and technical people are on the autism spectrum.... most. Once you learn that, everything becomes much easier. With his talent level, I would be a bit stunned if Rick wasn't on the spectrum as well and this video is exceptionally strong support for that suspicion. Stick with it and remember that you're no less by any means, your brain is just different and optimized for technical tasks.

  7. You may want to watch the TED talk video labeled "Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds", which you can find here on YouTube. I was a very poor student even though I taught myself multiple programming languages and electronics engineering before most teachers had ever touched a computer, and this before I was a teenager. In school I was treated as a dunce by the incapable teachers yet when tested, most of my scores came out multiple grades ahead of my classmates and my worst subject by far which was spelling scored me exactly at my actual year and month in school. You can buy my engineering world wide but I was told by my 6th grade teacher that I would work in a gas station. Teachers are often the greatest impediment to success. Your son may be on the autism spectrum, along with most highly respected and capable engineers, mathematicians, inventors, thinkers, technicians, musicians, and artists. The names carries a lot of baggage, but the list of known and suspected people with Asperger's Syndrome is very enlightening!

  9. The biggest thing to remember about a "learning disability" is that you may learn 10x faster than your peers, but if it happens in a different way from "neurotypical" people, teachers will become more like prison guards of mediocrity and tell you that you are the one with the disability rather then highlight their inability to teach a more complex and capable mind.

  10. According to Neil himself, record companies killed it. “They killed it by insisting on charging two to three times as much for the high-res files as for MP3s” I believe technically it was just FLAC.

  11.  @hurdygurdyguy1  I never followed things in that world so I don't know the requirements but as a product designer and EE, I can tell you that with very little effort, FLAC, even with a different header could be easily supported by any media player with enough internal bandwidth to deliver the audio to the DAC. Supporting it would have been a marketing decision by the player makers rather than a technical one. The higher data rate would have resulted in higher power dissipation so battery life would have taken a hit in most cases and that might have turned player makers off too.

  12. You are no more a misfit than Albert Einstein, Stanley Kubrick, Michelangelo, Mozart, Nikola Tesla, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and so many more notables who were almost certainly coping with Asperger's. We, those with high functioning autism, are just people with brains optimized for technical tasks.

  13. I wouldn't have guessed Paperback Writer off the top, but the tabs I scanned through agree. I Melt With You contains three additional chords during the "the future's open wide" bit.

  20. OUTSTANDING! Thank you Rick for this amazing history and look behind the scenes of some of my favorite listening memories.

  21. The music scene In the San Francisco Bay Area died when concert promoter Bill Graham died on October 25, 1991. Bill introduced the world to bands like Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead just to name a couple out of hundreds. The greater family controlling the production company got into debt with an expensive production and sold out to Clear Channel to pay the debts off. That was the end from my perspective.

  22. If you can relate to this video (and you wish your mom was a cool and insightful as Rick's mom), you may have undiagnosed high functioning autism which was until recently called Asperger's Syndrome. It's amazingly common among highly talented artists, engineers, and thinkers. Search for the TED Talk labeled "Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds", which you can find here on YouTube for a great introduction to this world where everything suddenly makes perfect sense and it all fits.
