There are only a handful of media first experiences that I can still remember from my teens and early twenties. I remember the first time I saw the video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, the first time I heard Rage Against the Machine. I remember witnessing the beginning of the O.J. Simpson saga (a saga which spun off media franchises that are still relevant today), as we saw live shots of his friend’s white Bronco being chased slowly down the LA freeway. And I remember the very first time I heard a broadcast from Rush Limbaugh.
Great read! I wish my grandpa were alive to read it as you echo his thoughts on Rush to the T.
