Saturday Night Radio Programs

When I went away to college, I had this device that hooked up to my stereo. Inside the 12 by 12 clear box was an 8 inch bar with two LCD strips on it. One lit up red for bass and one lit up red for treble. They responded to the music or speech of the stereo and gave one a display of lights that was intoxicating to watch. My friends and I used to put on my Bill Cosby albums and listen to and watch them for hours. One weekend I returned from a visit home and my roommate told me he and some others tried to watch Pink Floyd's The Wall on it, but that it was just too trippy for them.
