3014150, So it appears this place is 20 years old
Posted by mrhood75, Sat Feb-23-19 05:40 PM
Two decades of in depth music discussion.

Not going to front like I’ve been here all 20. Or that I’m even a charter member. But I’ve learned an incalculable amount since I first stumbled into the Lesson. And met and interacted with lots of cool and interesting cats. And spent way to much time arguing or just wasting time in general.

But we still do our things. Thanks to all who keep coming back and keep contributing.
3014151, Happy Anniversary, Everyone

Can't believe I've been checking in for almost 20 years. Still my favorite place to get informed about music.

3014406, I got a copy of stuff from the iPod
Posted by kajsidog, Tue Mar-05-19 08:59 PM
I know I preordered that album, (didn't it come with a J. Period mixtape?) So it would make sense that's how I got it. Mostly Roots stuff, some random Prince (rehearsing when the saints come marching in) and I think some MJ randoms.

20 years! Crazy. I've learned and enjoyed so much here.

remember checking the front page for the Boondocks once I stopped getting a newspaper, and they used to have the top posts showing, i think upper right hand corner. Never would have thought I'd get that far in.

Thanks to all.
3014215, the shit i've learned here is priceless

20 years sure has gone by quickly. I think I first stumbled in here in early 2001.
3014247, Man, so many great memories
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Thu Feb-28-19 03:09 AM
So many great debates and discussions. So many laughs. Lots of knowledge and remarkably not a lot of unnecessary conflict.

I get spoiled by this place, not only because of the real sense of community but because everyone's so knowledgeable and can describe in detail their music tastes and knowledge.

Glad to be a small part of this place.

3014316, ...And I Still Feel The Same Age When I First Got Here
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Fri Mar-01-19 11:01 PM
It's sad when you think of where all that time that flew by, the people who use to be here, the ones who still here, and the new people who show up even though these days it's less and less.

Every year I keep saying I need to stop coming but I can't seem to stay away, lol.


3014338, daaaaaYum...
Posted by Voodoochilde, Sun Mar-03-19 08:44 AM
...how long have I been coming here?? I know its been a minute, but didn't realize its been around for 20?

3014635, I learned how to debate on this board
Posted by MME, Fri Mar-15-19 09:49 AM
mostly by getting my ass handed to me repeatedly LOL but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Anniversary, Okp.
3014654, Congrats on 20 years, hope to see 20 more

The Lesson was one of Boards that hooked me to the Internet. I probably wasn't very productive at work back in 99 as a Word Processor but boy did the site get me thru the day daily. Talked to a lot of folks who were just like me....Music Heads.
3014811, 20 years damn! Thanks to all contributors thru the years
