Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: John Kay was born in East Prussia during World War II, fled with his mother as a child, and later built his identity through migration and outsider survival.
- Media Narrative: “Born To Be Wild” became biker shorthand after Easy Rider, locking Steppenwolf into motorcycle mythology far beyond the band’s actual story.
- Scene Ecology: The debut sits where LA psych, garage rock, biker culture, and heavier guitar music started feeding into what people would soon call hard rock.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
