I polled like, six friends, and only two of them knew the reference, which made me sad, and old. If you know the reference, stop reading and drop a comment in the thing.

Else, keep going.

It was the 80s...

I'm hoping this piece will be a hit with the 80s kids, as a reference to the 1981 Maxell ad with the "Blown Away Guy" for their high fidelity cassette tapes, another relic of an age long past... The photo in the print ad became a pop culture icon of its time and has been portrayed by others in homage or parody, such as by The Simpsons, Family Guy and Jackass.

I am somewhat annoyed that we have chosen to go back to vinyl for a esthetic reasons, when we could have brought cassettes back and rediscovered the art of mix tapes.

I wonder what the Australian equivalent of maxell was. I can hear the flight of Valkyrie in my head in this image.
