This Was Our Netflix

$325.00

8x8 oil on panel, black floater frame

I was trying to remember how we entertained ourselves as kids, before iPads and streaming services. Welllll.. let’s see … I was a kid in the 70s, so we gave strangers directions. (Especially if they had candy). We rode in the back of station wagons (seatbelts were optional). We threw lawn-darts (death javelins) towards each other. We cobbled together plywood and cement blocks to make a ramp for our dirt bikes (thanks, Evil Kneivel!). The ramp only worked once and resulted in a broken arm (Mikey Hollinger, because he was a doofus).

As the t-shirt says: It was the fuck-around-iest of times, it was the find-out-iest of times. And quite a few of us even lived to tell about it. The rest, wellll … the 70s were nature’s way of weeding out the idiots.

And if us Gen Xers always sound angry … It’s because we have no way to play our old albums or tape collections, or even CDs anymore! and we’ll be damned if we’ll pay a monthly subscription to listen to music. Of course we’re angry.
