Terwiliger:

I really like this. The impression I get from it is "Golden Age" meets Orwell meets late Victorian era.

john cox:

HEY T

It sounds like you can see what I was going for. I wanted to illustrate the somber and introspective nature of intense competiton. With a twist of nostalgia.

GarandFan:

And here I just thought it was a scone toss!

Ed B:

Mmmmmm, scones...

Terwiliger:

I like the emotional connotation of "introspection" & nostalgia, but the "dumb masses" would probably think it too dark for a promotional piece. They need less complexity & more "purty colors"--more "bread & circuses"--& that's a shame.

GarandFan:

"T"
In the current culture, "imagination" is not encouraged. Next thing you'll be telling us is that you actually enjoyed listening to the shows on the radio (The Shadow, GangBusters) - instead of watching on a huge flat-screen TV.

Terwiliger:

GF:

Sorry, but I'm too "young" to have listened to radio shows.

No flatscreen... I took my Mossberg to my little 20" a while back, & I haven't missed it. It was a thing of beauty watching that screen explode. On rare occasions I do catch news broadcasts in a local student lounge, though.

I did spend a lot of time with my father's small collection of books, an old set of Encyclopaedia Britannica, & in the several local university libraries. Comparing how dumbed down new encyclopedias are to that old set--& how so many newer versions of those books are abridged versions--it's no wonder the collective American intellect (& imagination) is in a tailspin.

GarandFan:

"T"
Ever get a chance, find an old record "The Golden Years of Radio". Kick back, turn the lights down, and let your imagination run wild!

John paints wonders with his brush, they did the same with words!

GarandFan:

&$%#&%$@*&$!!!!!!

Went to a Memorial Service with the wife. On the way home she (who MUST be obeyed) says "Oh look, an ANTIQUE store, let's stop."

So we go inside. Yeah, I like 'old stuff'. But then I got to one isle and there they were, records. Records I USED TO HAVE! And magazines. LIFE magazines. Many that I'd read when they were originally published. The kicker was an Olympia portable typewriter. I owned an Olympia portable typewriter JUST LIKE THAT ONE! (and the same ugly coral colored case that I hated!)

Went and got the wife and SUGGESTED we leave. "Why?" BECAUSE I AM NOT AN ANTIQUE!

Terwiliger:

I still have a pile of old vinyl. I didn't buy a CD player until about 5 years ago, & it's like pulling teeth trying to find music I like on CD. Say what you want, but a clean analog pressing blows digital away (it's just so danged hard to keep it clean & free of blemishes).

I wish the music industry had gone to optical analog instead of digital...

...but then again, with the crap they're churning out now, I don't mind seeing record companies struggle...

...& not too long ago, I got rid of the "family collection" of National Geographics--subscription running from 1964 (almost 2 years before I was born) to 1992. I would have liked to have kept them, but they were just too bulky & took up too much space (& it isn't like they were substantive literature)...

...& while I'm not an antique, I'm not a "yute" either--& I'm glad my youth was spent in a world that was a simpler place.
