Default Ghetto Boxes
Heard this the other day, didn't see anyone post it and thought it was interesting. Its true that listening to music isn't as social with ipods and such...

A Eulogy For The Boombox : NPR Music

Thoughts?

Well I'm old enough that it was going on when I was a little kid. I definitely remember people carrying around boomboxes like that.

I don't really know how much it went on in the 70s. It think boomboxes were more of an 80s thing.
