I was driving down the street yesterday and saw about half a dozen broken 8-track tapes lying in the street, slowly unravelling and blowing in the wind. Sort of took me back a few years.

Remember pulling those puppies out of your player when they got tangled in the rollers? You ended up with a big loop of mangled tape hanging out and you had to yank on one end to get the spool to take up the slack. And remember buying the tape only to find out that your favorite song fades out at the end of Track 2 and finishes up on Track 3? Digital, schmigital! Those were the good old days!
