Radio Days


What do you make of this one then?

I make of it that you are currently in orbit around this or some other planet and are sitting in your spaceship looking through the porthole sketching a bunch of radios you have just released through the garbage chute. I hope you brought enough beer to last until re-entry.

The past and it's meaning has real beauty to you. That you are not just a visual person but enjoy sounds with great delight .That your history means a lot to you and you refuse to let it go. Your past permeates your present but you are ready to let go of it to the futures promises. It will not get lost has you might think.

Wow!! Fifties style radios. I have an Encyclopedia Britannica Atlas from 1948 and it lists the number of radios know to exist in each country in the world.

Is this another one of those "radios in outer space" retro paintings that are so popular with the youth in England these days?

I could see this as Alien ships disguised as vintage radios ready to invade earth and infiltrate homes via garage sales and second hand stores. Once turned on and tuned into a certain station, alien brain washing begins and the overtaking of Earth commences.

Okay, so I have to stop watching Twilight Zone...
