Getting music for free meant sitting by your boombox for an hour and calling radio stations to request songs so you could tape them. Don't even THINK about leaving for a minute.

waiting a whole year to see your favorite movie on tv again


Definitely remember this. Then, when home video rental became a booming business, it'd be several months -- and in some cases a year or two before a movie was available for home viewing after it left the theaters.

Now, a movie is OnDemand or on Bluray within a week or two of it exiting theaters.

Nope. Not quite old enough for that. But Soc Sec recipients have to file taxes, anyway.

I've still got to find those stupid things to keep my old phonograph working. They're getting harder to find these days.

Crumble up some paper and stick it in the cassette so you can record.

Having your mom pick up the phone and tell you to get off the phone because you've been on it for too long and she's expecting your father to call, or having her pick up the phone and ask you a question, totally ruining you in the eyes of your gf (or so you thought).
