Farzana Versey Remembers her Walkman

Jeremy Hatch bio ↓  ·  July 2nd, 2009  ·  filed under Other

“I do not have an iPod. The Walkman is 30 now. I resisted it, as I have resisted several new innovations. I still have an old cassette player. I like the comfort of things I am used to – smells, sounds, images. It is as though wrinkles tell so many tales and I like hearing the stories of a time gone by.

[The Walkman] made music mobile. … Music for me had meant something else.”
