Fab Flashback: "The Ghetto-Blaster" :-)

Just for fun, I present to you a flashback from the “glory days” of the 80s…

The “Ghetto-Blaster” is in da house! :)

Seriously, cameras are not my only thing. I also have a love for all things vintage.
As a child of the 80s, the boom box is certainly an iconic reminder of the crazy decade
that only in recent times has begun to receive its due appreciation, even if we're not
sure just WHAT we are appreciating about the 80s :)

Even if you didn’t like the 80s, I hope you will at least get a laugh or a smile out of the “Ghetto-Blaster” :-)

Have a great weekend my friends!

Those were the carefree days, no cell phones no distractions from the music... This is the real deal! Cool shot... V++

Much better for strength training than an ipod...the baddest dudes had the biggest boom boxes! Cool.

Owned several of them, Sony, JVC, Hitachi, etc and just loved to twiddle those treble and base controls knobs :) Cool image, Sam..V

Pre Internet, pre cell phone, pre computer games, pre digital cameras...but when all the technology was laid in place and ready to explode on the scene....good times. Oh and puleeeze tell me you weren't one of those blaster dudes! :-)))) BV
