Old Enough To Remember?

[motornut]

Just looked up the pyramid sleeping rack that goes over bed to protect you from radiation effects and guide recharging waves into your body.
I remember these from the 70s, did not think they were still around.
Has there been evidence found of early man using these?
Has these helped us become what we are today?

Changing the channel also involved adjusting the antenna

I had a boyhood friend with a electric antenna on the roof, they were pretty well off though

Don't know why, but falling back to a long time ago and started listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival again ... ...

Similarly Find myself on occasion listening to such as Humble Pie, Uriah Heap, Procol Harem, Dire Straits and others! Proof that as we age we revisit our youth!

Canned Heat, Going up the Country. Steppenwolf, Born To Be wild. Some Robin Trower or Doors for the darker side. I still listen to the old stuff mixed in with a bunch of Motown. Blue Oyster Cult is still doing concerts....I think. Saw them what seems like a few years ago

Change In The Weather

John Fogerty's 1986 prediction of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He was clairvoyant. Crystal ball at work.

Good music never gets old! Just like us... well the music part is right.

I went on the roof with my dad to help him install a new antenna and rotator for channels 6, 8, and 12 for our new Olympic color TV and a UHF converter for channel 23.

It sure seems like the music then you could sing along with, without insulting the gramma too much. Now, not so much

 

[St-Gerard]

And could hear and understand the lyrics!

And it was 'musical' - a lot of it could later be 'repurposed' as orchestral music.

I still remember only a single station within reception range. And it didn't broadcast all day sign -on and Farm Report at 5am, random broadcasts 'til midafternoon. local and national news....30 minutes each.....and network programming 'til 11pm then signoff. They began filling the dead space with newsreels which gave-way to network broadcasts over time.

Canned Heat, Going up the Country.

I knew I had one of these out in the garage in a junk box somewhere, and after a minute or two I was able to find it. Mine's blue, and it still has some black tape left in it from a year I can't remember.

 

[dwalby]

and no damn safety railing on the stairs either !!!!!!

looks Very Homey! The trendy wall paneling did not go un-noticed
