Quote HistorySure was! I listened from 1974 until the nearly 80's. My wife bought me the entire 1,300+ show set on CD (compressed MP3 files) back around 2004.
I'm happy that the shows are online now. In the early 1990s, one show on cassette was around $15! |

A cable TV system that had a whole 13 channels on it. Or none at all. What you got was what your antenna could pick up and that's all there was.
NTSC broadcast TV. Changing tubes in your TV every now and then. A number of great TV shows that they don't show anymore due to them being judged to be politically incorrect or too offensive to minorities and deviants, in the judgement of the easily butthurt censors, most of whom are apparently deviants and minorities. Common sense in schools. By pre-arrangement you could actually bring in your rifle on show and tell day and nobody had a conniption. Internet with virtually no ads WITHOUT having to install multiple ad blockers by various means. News media that reported what happened as it happened and didn't try to get you to sign on to anybody's agenda. Politicians who had read and fully supported the Constitution and behaved in an ethical manner. |

Driving or riding in a vehicle without it being illegal to not wear a seat belt.
Not having child safety seats that are required for children that are not infants.... I think they make you put your child in them up to the age of 14... 
now I am not against them but I think they take them a little too far. and yes I wear seatbelts, I have seen the reasons why its a good idea. I just dont like laws saying you HAVE to... My first "school bus" was riding in the back of an old station wagon with a piece of cardboard laid in the back for us kids to sit in. I was in elementary (kindergarten or first grade) and it was what the school sent out to pick us up... I lived in a small rural town/village. I remember sliding around on the cardboard when the guy took turns... I am pretty sure that ain't gonna happen again. oh yeah... and good tasting hostess-type snack cakes good tasting candy bars.... they dont exist anymore, gone the way of the dodo bird. |

Not living in a hyper world, and the mindfulness and general courtesy that came with it.
Cap gun fights all through the streets. More trust in strangers. Nicknames? Seems like they’re fewer these days. And not just names like “CJ” or “AJ.” My dad called me scooter, gumbii, buckwheat, and mac-tavish. ETA: publicly correcting intolerable and unacceptable behavior. That loud music the thug is playing at the gas station? These days he’ll batter or murder someone for telling him to respect the peace of others. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Paul & Ron on Zeta was the best. Toast doing random stupid shit. Omelette out on 93 waving goodbye to the Canadians at the end of the summer was comedy gold. He did a prank at the boat ramp across from our condo one very early morning. We could hear him out there, so the wife thought is would be funny to walk over in her nightgown to say hello. Poor kid almost had a heart attack. Paul's new show just ain't the same. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Yeah, it isn't the same without Ron. But then again, even Big 105.9 isn't the same when they moved over to them after ZETA shut down. Big was the Classics like the Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis, etc... ZETA was all about Ozzy, Metallica, Megadeth, etc... I remember Toast got pulled over by BSO for a prank and had to explain to the cops why he had a trunk full of unwrapped dildos thay were scented with dope. By their distaste for the Canadians was the best. |
