radio

I used to believe that old cars only played old music on thier radios.

When I was young, I used to believe that the songs that I heared on the radio, were realy put inside the radio, like a record or a tape.
I taught some man came around to do this, and that this happened when I was at school, because I never saw anyone doing this.

I grew up in Huntsville, AL. My dad, like almost everyone's dad in Huntsville, worked in the aerospace industry. Our house was decorated with satellite pictures from space. So when I listened to the radio, I thought that all of the remote broadcasts (from supermarket openings, car dealerships, etc.) came from the moon.

I used to think that all the radio stations reached the whole world. So naturally there would be only one country station, one rock.. etc.. I got mad when the radio played a recording of a song, and wondered why they didnt just have the band sing it live.. Becuase, duh, all the bands are right there in the radio studio right?
I was shocked to scroll through the radio stations and find another country station...

I used to believe that the music on the radio stopped when you turned it off. When you turned the radio on again it would be in that same spot of the same song. I never tested this idea (obviously) but merely assumed it to be true.

Used to think that DJ's would just be really quite when the song was playing so that you could not here them.
An if i turned the radio up loud enough i would be able to him him/her breath

When I was about 5 or 6, I used to believe that there were actually tiny musicians inside radios playing the songs. Since our radio in the old days only had one or two stations, I thought they switched the people paying when you changed the station.

I used to beleive that radio DJ's would sing all the songs... if there was a lady singing a song it was his wife or sister... hehe. I thought that for quite a long time....

I used to believe that there was little people inside the radio making all that music and talking.

I used to believe that when I listened to the car radio, the D.J.'s were actually INSIDE the radio. The ironic thing is that I'm now a morning D.J. and no, I'm not inside the radio!

I used to think that what was on the radio was unique to each radio-- so, if I didn't like what was on, say, 93.3 FM on my clock radio, I'd get my Walkman, tune it to 93.3 FM, and expect something different to be playing.

Listening to children's favourites on the radio in the fifties I heard "home on the range" - one of the lyrics was "seldom is heard a discouragin' word." I fretted about why the cowboys wandered around muttering "seldom" in a depressed state!

I used to believe there was a newsreader inside the radio where the light was!!
