Name the Styx lyric that best serves as a theme song for a Russian honeypot. Go.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1025532161867309057 …

Let me guess, stick shift? Back in the day you had to pay extra for automatic
-
Nah. Didn't learn stick until I moved to SF.
-
SF is a hell of a place to learn to use a clutch.
-
I lived just outside the Presidio at the time and had a path home from the Marina that involved flat stops until I really learned.
-
I learned in the hills just east of Pittsburgh. I'm thankful my dad was patient & had nerves of steel.

The first “album” I bought was Donna Summer’s “On the Radio” — on 8-track.
-
Oh, that was the first record I bouht, I think. But it was vinyl.
-
Me too! And 8-track — I switched to vinyl soon after, once I saved enough to buy a record player, but at that point relied on my parents’ 8-track player. I still get annoyed thinking about when a track would switch mid-song.

Old lady confession: I bought Styx Pieces of 8 on 8-track.
-
You must have been friends with my brothers, who did the same.

You can’t be that old.

If I'm the girl in the bicentennial picture don't I by definition have to be that old?

I had an AM radio in my '64 Ford. Another music delivery medium.
-
We had an FM/AM with push button favorite selectors that physically moved the knobs & the red needle that pointed to the frequency in the 63 Galaxie. It also had an 8 track. People forget Madonna’s so old her first album or 2 had 8 track versions.https://www.discogs.com/Madonna-Like-A-Virgin/release/5807865 …
-
John, still rubbing it in that you had the upscale Galaxie to my Fairlane?
-
All the youngsters going “Galaxie? Fairlane? They made cars with those names?”
Bust speaking of ancient comms devices, I also grew up listening to Radio Moscow on a Zenith shortwave.
And my dad knew Bill Lear, the inventor of both the 8 track and the Lear jet. -
Imagine the synapses in his mind evolving from from 8-track to jet!
-
Other way round- he wanted turbulence proof music for the jet, and reel to reel didn’t cut it.
-
Well, after-market 8-track didn't cut it either. Rear-ended on the way home, the passenger's (me) primary injury was the dislodgement of the 8-track player onto my foot.

I had a reel-to-reel tape deck in my home when I was 8. : )
-
I have a 1967 Tandberg tube deck that works perfectly. A late friend of mine bought it brand new.
-
Are you trying to make me take photos of my early-'80s Krell KSA-100 gold-nameplate one-button amp? Are you? Because I WILL DO IT.
-
Do it. My amp world awareness stagnated after buying new McIntosh in 1976.
-
Actually, I was bluffing. It's blocked by Thing2's crap from moving back in. Which is a hell of a good metaphor for that phenomenon, actually. But it looks like this + weighs something like 100 lbs.pic.twitter.com/fBv9JrCI3Y
-
Sadly, my midrange is a victim of the folly of a misspent youth and most of my music comes from mp3s and $10 earbuds.
-
With this amp you don't NEED ears to experience the music. Just proprioceptors.
