Man what the fuck are you talking about? Jim Morrison was dead before I started elementary school, like 1970 or some shit, so how could their "heyday" be in the late seventies/early eighties?

I remember having a couple of Sony's. I listened to rush for a whole summer when I got my first, stole it on my uncle with a Dr. Hook tape.
The first song I ever heard on CD was 'Lets get Rocked' by Def Leppard, and I was utterly amazed.

He was laughing that you still drive a car with a cassette.

The one I posted has auto reverse... but it don't flip out or nothing. It also had 2 tape decks and can play each tape... that's 4 sides without having to do anything.
