RADIO GAGA

I have poked fun at both my husband and son-in-law in the last couple of posts so it's only fitting that I should confess that I am not above being confounded or confused myself but I guess you already know that from my Tales of the Crypt.



When I was a quite young (4 or 5) we had a radio not too unlike the one pictured above.  When you turned on the power, a light would come on inside and on our model, if you turned the radio just the right way, you could see a bit through the speaker cloth.

One day the DJ announced that the next song to be played would be by the Beatles.  I heard Beatles but thought "beetles" and was incredulous.  Surely not?  Beetles?... beetles can't play music. I immediately rushed to the radio and spent the entire song trying to look through the speaker cloth to see if I could spot little beetles playing musical instruments inside our radio.

I think it's funny that not once had I questioned my belief that tiny little people played music inside our radio but the minute the DJ said "Beatles" I became a skeptic.
