Tony asked, about 6 hours ago

Remember?

Yes. - Does that fact make me look old?

The portable music when I was young was a transistor radio.

I remember a lot, but sometimes don’t want to!!!

People whose memories only go back to the 80’s are young.

Well… most of them.

I mean, they’re young except for the older ones who can’t remember anything before the 80’s cos of what they did in the 60’s or 70’s.

My first transistor radio used D cells…

My walkman is what they once referred to as a ghetto-blaster.

…said Spock to McCoy

What I did 5 minutes ago?

Not really.

50 years ago?

Every detail.

@Tony:

How could I forget? But I hope you all won’t forget to answer today’s…

Second “Daddy’s Home” Question:

Lose something?

Vanilla Ice…..hm. were they before or after the Beatles?

My son catches me on it, I call the refrigerator an ice box.

When you compress a file to MP3 you lose about 20% of the musical information – and it was digital to start with. So the Walkman was a better listening device than the iPod (or would have been if it weren’t for the earbuds; they have sucked in any era).
