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.
Not boomboxes, they were “ghetto blasters”.
