That second link led me to a favorite Jim Croce song in a wonderful live performance video so thanks very much for that!!

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I bought 30 cassettes in a box at an auction for $3 a while back. Three were Ray Stevens tapes. I probably hadn't heard Ahab the Arab in 40 years before that.

I've still got one (actually a combo CD/cassette player) that was factory-installed in the dashboard of my Grand Voyager.
Of course, the van was built over fifteen years ago, back when George W. was still president.
I did finally shit-can my old 8-track player and tapes, though.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I still have a cassette player that my Grandfather got me shortly before he died. And I still have quite a few older computers that still have Cd drives and DVD players as well.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

[And BB]

My car has a cassette player, as did my former love - the Nissan Hardbody bakkie. Some years ago, I went to considerable difficulty to obtain a set of cassettes on Rorke's Drift / Isandlwana before Margaretta and I took a trip there in the pick-em-up. Soon after we started on our multi-hour trip, I popped the first disc in and said, "Now my dear, you and I will learn a lot about where we are going". Futz.....hiss....dead crickets

And don't computers have CD/DVD drives any more? How else does one rip CDs? The world has gone all Jethro Tull on me . . .

The advantage of aging tho' is that while we remain hopeless (and hopelesser) at pop culture since 1975, we are increasingly likely to be able to shout the like of "Mrs Miniver!" at the appropriate times during Pointless. The further away my past is to more current people, the better I am at guessing the "old" answer.

Yes. One is an OLD boom box type that belonged to Mrs Mc's father, and three are in older cars.

Hey, two of my MGBs have 8-track players. The tapes for those are as old as the cars.

Other cassettes in the box include Fibber McGee and Molly, The Great Gildersleeve, Jack Benny, and (I think) An Hour at McGuffy's Tavern. At a dime a piece, who cares? I've listened to a couple of the old comedies. The sound effects are interesting. The shows are, well... mundane.
