A small Panasonic AM/FM radio c. 1983. It has a jaunty cord and a partially removed sticker that promises a 2-year limited warranty.

Behold: my outdoor sound system. When I karaoke'd Kansas's"Carry On" I realized how many guitar solos it has - a lot #53 #memorialdaycountdown

104. New Year's Day. Stirring Irish drama. "Gold is the reason for the wars we wage." Still true, Bono. BTW, The lads didn't ride the horses through the snow in the video - teen girls did because U2 were too cold youtu.be/jeYCyCaK_5k?...

"The calliope crashed to the ground" and I'm thinking that's a pretty minor musical disaster? Not impressed. See: Smoke on the Water

109. Wish You Were Here. At some point I realized "hey Dark Side of the Moon is actually a pretty good album?!" And "Wait, I kind of like Led Zeppelin?" and "OK, American Beauty is one of my favorite albums?!??" Surprises abound

110. What the heck is "The Sultans of Swing" about? Granted, I could 'google' it but I prefer conjecture and puzzlement

As I kid I listened to Magical Mystery Tour while sending time-travel ESP messages to The Beatles (that is, 4 or 5 Magicians) asking them to roll up and take me away to marvellous places. I may or may not have revived this practice youtu.be/l8WMGBuNaus?...
