I guess I thought that the images were video images, not still images. In addition, I though I could put on my Partridge Family and Banana Splits records and would be able to watch them performing. I guess I was way ahead of my time. Or at least my expectations were.

If parents were concernted about keeping their chldren away from those steamy afternoon soaps or violent shows like ChiPs and Dukes Of Hazzard, it's probably a bad idea to let 'em listen to AC/DC's "Highway to Hell".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
