I asked my (relative to us) wealthy grandparents for a Walkman, one Christmas. Just a normal, cassette playing walkman, you know. They instead asked for the coolest model, which apparently lead them to, I think it was called a Sportman (?), which was sleek, yellow, and radio only. RADIO ONLY. I lived in an unincorporated mountain town of 3,000 people. I still wore it sometimes, imagining I looked cool, but all it picked up were fuzzy, Spanish voices or snatches of talk radio. One of those inconsequential, but massive at the time, disappointments.
