Back in the day, the Shah wouldn’t let people read radical Muslim newspapers.
The Muslims got around that by making cassette recordings of their speeches which would be played, re-recorded, and passed hand to hand.
Just funny that the people who were censored in the past are censors now.
Reminds me of a story I once read.
Guy is doing his laundry on the night of his 26th birthday. He realizes that he’s a complete loser. There’s a flier on the wall looking for musicians. He calls the number and makes an appointment.
He drives up and sees a bunch of teenagers standing around outside a garage.
“Is this the tryouts?”
“Man, you don’t need to try out. You’ve got a van, you’re our manager!”
