I wonder if Bernie got those Grundig tellies as a job lot? They're looking a bit sorry for a supposed bank of future-info communication devices. Bono slept well that night.

Look...blinking digital lights were as scary and baffling to him in 1984 as HTML is in 2012.

This changes everything.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I know tellies means tvs, but what does the bolded expression mean?

Grundig were a cheap make of television in the 80s. A job lot is where you buy something in bulk at a reduced price.
