Growing up there was no cable and we were the remote control.
THANKS, now I feel much older.

I feel the gap whenever my daughter (who claims all our music sucks) points out how all her generation's music is much better, while talking about songs that are remakes from my generation.

Wait, why would you listen to your radio somewhere else? Like, I can see if you were jogging or something...

Because it's the only way to hear new music?

Because you only have a few albums in your record collection?

Because it's a drag to host a part, or have a girl in your room, and have to get up every 20-30 minutes to flip the lp or cassette over?

Oh, man, do I feel old.

its funny that growing up in Latin America in the early 80's gave me similar experiences to the gringos of the early 70's. I grew up with about 8 channels on TV, one educational, all of which ended around midnight or 1AM, Oh, and no remote either.

Now the radio's only purpose is for listening to commercials...

I grew up with the 3 networks and PBS until I was about 14.

My friend that lived a half mile away from me had cable 2 years before I did.

I remember when cable TV felt special, putting on Showtime and watching Bizarre was great.

ACK!

Abilene had 2 channels when I was a single digit person. I don't know which 2.

...Never Mind.

Uh huh. Yeah.
