[78-L] fwd: The Fading Sounds of Analog Technology

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Aw hell, why don't you break down and get them an RCA 45rpm changer and 
some rock n roll records?
As far as the radio dial goes, I can scan through the stations on my 
digital car radio. Granted, it ain't quite the same but it kinda 
approximates spinning a dial, so they can't be totally clueless.
