I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

    Because radio stations’ DJs would say “and here’s artist with song name”, I firmly believed that one of two things must be true:

    Radio stations had the bands always playing live for them

    And/or

    Radio stations would present a local DJ, but they would then tune in to the artist playing the track live for a larger station

    What’s even funnier about this is that my dad has at the time taught me how to use a tape deck to record radio and CDs to tape. So I clearly understood recording mediums. Just, the idea still lingered in my mind for a while.

      Better yet, imagine dumbass me not knowing why the radio didn’t play slowly when the batteries were dying like my cassette player did.
