Head to Head in San Jose

With buds and 'phones in hand, headphone enthusiasts from around the US and beyond are about to plug in in San Jose, California.

An old speaker from the 1970s

Forums

Hi. I'm trying to find the name and any existing web pages for a speaker manufactured during the late 1970s and/or early 1980s. The main (only?) driver was a cone at the top of the enclosure -- an elongated cone standing on it's wide end. Looked kind of like a fez.

I ask because I did a post on my old Genesis speakers (http://archaeoblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/non-archaeological-post-another…) and could not remember what these things were called. Thanks.

Songs that you aren't sure what they mean...

We're about to take the kids into the mountains for a few days and I was packing up some music to take along.

Is that song about Easter?

I lived on the beach in L.A. when it first came out and it used to be my three-day weekend 'under the volcano' anthem, oy, but I think there may be more to it than that.

I'm sure there's a million others, but that one is stuck in my head for the day.

Any songs you aren't sure what they're about?
