If you lived in the city or went to a party in the 80s you probably heard music from a boombox whether you owned one or not.
Got married in ‘83, kids started in ‘86.
I saw lots of boomboxes at parks and they annoyed the hell out of me. Where’d all the peace and quiet we used to enjoy go! I was an old fart before my time.
I remember the “Boombox Wars” where people would vie to have the biggest, baddest boombox up on their shoulders. I thought that was the most stupid thing I’d ever seen.
