remember, my concrete block, has not spent much time - the time when people, as he parked the car, the radio / tape drew the glove and carried it with him everywhere, to keep from being stolen. It was, those old "parrot", some black boxes passing about two or three kilos, and that in later models incorporated a handle so that owners the slides better.
I've seen people sit on the couch in the salon with red dot, the Blaupunkt or Pioneer over his knees. I've seen professors enter the hall and leave the radio / tape recorder on the table before taking the chalk and start doing equations on the blackboard. I have seen in plays, how the actor entered the stage carrying his "parrot", I stopped a moment to the timer and then start to recite the text with ease.
And if only it were so ... Being in hostess clubs, take the opportunity to greet my family, faithful readers of this blog, I have seen guys come in with the radio / tape under his arm, placing on bar and then ask for a whiskey. Case rose to the above, they did the grip of this contraption, the radio / tape, I mean, and so placed it on the table and even adopted such a stance he never lost sight of. At that time there were still raids, and sometimes burst and fell to police whistle blows into the police van the girls and their clients, upload all of them with his "parrot" who would not let go all the way up to police. Only when the guard told them "let there personal effects" came off "upon receipt, yes, your cassette player.
that was uncomfortable, indeed. On the beach, the friends we had bathe in shifts, because someone had to stay in the care of the radio / tape. And in the dance clubs was uncomfortable with that burden, either left him unattended in a dark area, although it is true that given an opportunity to start a conversation with someone of the opposite sex. "That which you take the end of the arm you wondered, for example, a girl, is it maybe a Pioneer?". "Yes. Multiband"-and put them face interesting. How many love stories have emerged from situations like that!
And all this, so you will not break the car window and we swipe the parrot. There were many who believed that naive pop the radio / tape under the seat was Case settled and stuck with it saved. Ah, how they cried and howled these ready when they returned and were with the moon and the seat rotates dump!
Trail In Madrid, I knew, there was an entire square, Vara del Rey, dedicated to the business of buying and selling stolen radio / tape. Who had suffered a robbery believed that if people do not go through places like that to buy and sell, there would be theft. But opposite to those who had believed that if the stolen had not been so ready and it had been the radio / tape, like everyone else, there would be trading places. In these terms was established macroeconomic debate the late eighties.
In those years, and following this, I asked many questions about private property and, therefore, the meaning of life. Was it worth all that effort to carry the parrot everywhere? Would not it be better to stop listening to the radio but walking more free and light? I did not come to any conclusion because first removable front and then the finished CDs readers integrated with those heavy black boxes. I thought I had solved, then the question, but I realized that all they did was postpone to a day like today. Today I broke the car radio and in the shop told me that All I can do about this car is change. And I wonder: have we got better and better?, Have we gotten worse?, Are we going to somewhere or we move in circles?
