I had gotten a transistor radio for my birthday two months before, and my ear was glued to it all the time.

Those radios will rot your brain! Can't you young whipper snappers read a darn book anymore?!

Ha ha! Yeah. But I was a constant reader too.

I would listen to my little radio at night, after lights-out. Under my pillow.

RE: a transistor radio for my birthday ....

Mad Magazine had a bit that said evolution was still in force and someday the 1960s teenagers with transistor radios held to their ears would have offspring born with radios growing out of their ears.
