Hell's bells. I grew up on radio. You remember radio, don't you? You got the audio, but you made the pictures in your head. Captain Midnight, Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy, I Love a Mystery, the Lone Ranger, Gangbusters, the Green Hornet, the Shadow, Sam Spade. . . .    I always knew that behind his mask, the Lone Ranger looked like me.   

Did you know that the Green Hornet (Britt Reid) is the great-nephew of the Lone Ranger (real name, John Reid)? Yup. Within the context, the two characters are indeed related.

I remember in the early Fifties people standing around outside stores that sold television sets (usually had several sets in the window, turned on) and gazing in hypnotized fascination at what? A test pattern.
