Happy 30th Birthday Walkman
Posted by marty | Filed under News
The Walkman turns 30 this week. I was watching that movie The Wackness this weekend (had tons of walkmen/mixtape references). It is not a movie I recommend watching. It’s as if I was given the director’s cut of the movie. Except it wasn’t the director’s cut and there was definitely an hours worth of film that could have been cut.
Anyway, it’s a sad day when you watch a retro movie, and the main character in the movie is still younger than you. But, I must tell myself that I am young at heart.
I DIGRESS. Here’s an article about a 13 year old boy given a walkman by his father for a few days. The highlight of the article is that it took the boy 3 days to realize there was 2 sides to a tape.
