BEFORE NASHVILLE got sick . . .
WE USED THESE big boxes with pulsating membranes and buzzing
devices called "speakers"...they relayed electrical impulses from
atomic impressions off magnetic "tape" after it ran electrical
gauntlets thru glass "tubes" filled with inert gasses that would
spank their insides with love and fury...through a thousand patched wires and
gadgets before finessing, teasing & coaxing the bass and treble
vibrations...pushing, bumping, & smashing the air...bathing the eardrums
with natural analog born reproductions of the original sounds.
JUST PICTURE 2 people in a studo somewhere...at 4
AM...concentrating with all their hearts...unabashedly weeping from a song so
good, so beautiful…
it leaves you thrashed, trashed, and
baptized......
WE LISTENED thru boom boxes...we listened through speakers
that cost more than our cars...
we listened so loud, sometimes . . .
the airport
called up and complained about the noise.
