The finer things in life

I was born in 1984.  I was jamming out to Top Gun on cassette when I was 2.  Therefore, I missed the era of the 8-Track.  I really had no idea how these worked or what they looked like until the other day.  I witnessed my first 8-Track.  It was a sight to behold.  I really have no idea why these went out of style.  These should replace iPods.  Because Journey's greatness needs to be distributed between two tracks.
