I remember being a teenager walking around forests listening to Live In The City Of Light.

Portable music already existed, in the form of boomboxes, but Walkmen were personal with a whole different dynamic.

I think people these days don’t realise how OK people were with just being bored before mobile phones. You could pick an album, pick a book, but you couldn’t flit around the way you can these days. Whether that’s a good or bad thing I’m somewhat agnostic on.
