Imagine that there was a time in America when a child sat next to a radio and simply listened. But didn't just listen, was enthralled and knew that this time was his alone, that he was part of the vortex of drama unfolding inside the radio's innards.... I never saw a punch thrown, or a glass shatter, or a blood-smeared shirt as I listened to the radio. Nor did I know Barbara Stanwyck's hairstyle as she overacted in Sorry, Wrong Number on the Lux Radio Theatre. And I had no idea how corpulent Happy Felton was as he dropped ten silver dollars that jangled into a Sheffield's Milk bottle on Guess Who. (Yes, ten bucks was what you won on that show.) Instead, I imagined it all.
