when radio was frewheeling. You could hear nearly anything you wanted if you looked around, KAAY AM, the mighty 1090, in Little Rock, AK being a prime example. Ah, Beeker Street and Beeker Theater. I remember when Cable TV was the thing to have because of alternative programming. I remember when we actually had journalists who were not afraid to ask questions of ALL people in power, Republicans and Democrats alike. Kind of miss the olden days.

I remember when there was no such thing as cable TV and we only had three channels which were in black and white.

No remotes! Three networks, PBS and remember the UHF channel? I wonder what ever happened to that? Oh, and the rabbit ears. And my dad getting on the roof to adjust the antenna. I can remember all the roofs in the neighborhood with the antennas. I also remember when all the good music stations were on AM radio. And you'd go to the music store to buy your favorite hits on 45's. I am old enough to remember that if you wanted to reheat some leftovers you would use a pan. No microwaves. Guess I am old too! But I remember a lot of it fondly.

18. And the plastic knob fell off so we had to use a wrench |

to change the channel. And the third channel (ABC) was only intermittent.

I remember when about only one out of ten people and that is a generous estimation, had a tv--and it was all in black and white. We got one because my father hit the numbers--and the entire neighborhood would cram into our three room apartment to watch it when something special was on.

14. When my daughter's friends ask me |
|
how old I am, I ask if they've ever seen an old I Love Lucy rerun. When they answer yes, I tell them that when I was a kid those weren't reruns. They were original episodes. Freaks them out. My daughter is 11 and her two best friends have moms in their 30's. One was born the year I graduated from high school - 1970.

i vascilate between having high hope today and remembering when we stopped protesting in the 70's. our passion was so great back then. compared to now, today is the edge-next stop danger zone. back in the day when we dispersed we all agreed the revolution would no longer be televised, but this new media is diabolical. the talking heads give 1" of actual news to 600' of their translation. the kids have never known it any other way.

22. We couldn't just point & click. |
|
We didn't have any fancy Graphical Interface thingy.
We had to TYPE COMMANDS in to get were we wanted to go. Sometime we had to do it on PUNCH CARDS.

23. A few years ago KAAY in Little Rock broadcast |
|
the musings of none other than William Pierce, the now deceased founder of the racist organization, National Alliance. This was in the mid 1990s when they broadcast his weekly "messages."
