me too.

Reminded me of the good old days when people played opera on their hi-fis, played by the rules and worked hard to join in the American Dream.

You know what really brings back the feel of that is when I’m out at the spread, no cell coverage and have a fuzzy AM radio baseball game going while I’m doing something.

I was out there one night under the stars with a solar/hand crank AM playing the John Batchelor show and he was interviewing an author about the Pacific theater of WWII. They ran Roosevelt’s speech after the Pearl Harbor bombing and it was intense imagining all the people spread over the middle of nowhere in the US at the time hearing that on tube radios in their magnificent isolation.
