In the picture, the man appears to be
carrying a large clay pot on his
shoulder, a pot painted to look like a
gigantic boombox, like the ones in the
80’s, so that while he carries it, he
looks like he might also be rocking out,
the speakers right up to his ears for that
optimal stereo sound. It turns out
the pot: inflatable! Improbable
as that seems, intolerable, really;
it ruins the whole damn illusion now,
because everyone knows, boomboxes were
heavy as fuck, like massive steel clay pots.
We labored for the love of music then.
