Does your car have a radio? That was a common question when teens drove twenty-year-old cars in the 1950s.
So, what does that have to do with today’s title?
Remember the T-shirt with the saying, “If it is too loud, you are too old?”
I was too old when I was a teenager! I liked music, but I wasn’t a priority in my life at that time, so a radio in any of my many junkers of those days wasn’t all that important.
Radios and cars was not the thought I started with, but you know I get off track.1I don’t mean eight track.
I thought about this during the Super-Bowl half-time show. I didn’t pick up on more than a few of the words in Rihanna’s presentations. I’m sure she has a pleasing voice, but it doesn’t make sense to me that the instruments were many decibels over her volume.
Rock and Roll was expanding during my teen years, but when a vocal started, the instrument volume went down. Well, that’s the way I remember it – so there!
