I decided at 10 or 11 that girls were not, after all, icky.
On what have you changed your mind over the years?

I used to just like K-Pop, but now it's ... SUPER YUPPERS

Richard Cranium, I like that.
I’m sure I should have been diagnosed with excrementum in cerebro when I was younger.

I changed my mind in capital punishment, but no one wants to hear that...
Guitar-wise, I probably changed my mind that there's other than Fender and Gibson out there for electric guitars. And no, not just adding Epiphone and Squier to the list.

The big change is that I now understand that it’s not the guitar. I’ve learned to get the most from my gear. That’s big.
Subtle differences matter. I’ve modified gear but only to the extent that it doesn’t meet my needs.
Modern country doesn’t suck but it’s not for me, at least not for me to play. A 71 year old guy sounds idiotic singing, “Let’s get drunk and hook up in the back of my truck”.
Being possible doesn’t make it probable, or even desirable.
The extremes don’t meet up on the other side, no matter what non-Euclidean geometries may suggest.
Quantum mechanics makes no allowance for time.
A Gretsch I’ve been fighting with for more than 10 years is like my wife. It’s actually pretty good on its own terms.
Retirement is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and it came at exactly the right time.

You don‘t HAVE to be dogmatic about music.

In my youth (mid 70s) I always wanted a strat- and I also was a great fan of that position 2 and 4 quack-sound.My taste has slowly changed over the years - although I have a strat (now modified with 2 humbuckers) I was more and more into the sound of P90s and Filtertrons and other guitars ( Neil Youngs Old Black,J.J. Cales cheap Harmony and so on) .I still like strats but not a "strat-quack"-fan anymore.

I should have kept the 1962 SG and got somebody to either fix it or teach me how to tune it despite the bridge design.

Digital recording, simulators, and plug-ins are bad. Now, I do almost everything in the digital realm.
If my mind was changed in any way on retirement, it's that it's even more awesome than I anticipated.
There are so many ways that my musical opinions have changed, but maybe the biggest is that for years I didn't believe a Telecaster could be "appropriate" for the music I play. BOY!....was I wrong.
Band name alert! And thanks a lot. That combination of noun and adjective has never occurred to me; how am I going to unhear this?

I, too, have had an SG epiphany (2006). I now own two. Younger me would’ve been astonished (and made some crack about early onset senility).

I used to think that I needed more than 30 tube watts.
I also used to think that I preferred hotter pickups.
