If you wanted to have a song by your favorite band and had no money you had to work for it. You would use the old rotary dial phone and keep calling the radio station over and over again, no call waiting, no answering machines, line was always busy. When you finally got through you would request that they play the song and then you had to wait by the radio for HOURS until they maybe played the song. Then with lightning reflexes you would hit record on your cassette deck and record the song in all it's grainy, crappy sounding goodness.
If you didn't have a cassette deck your only option was playing the song in your head.
