Oldies Friday

It’s cold and snowy here in the upper Midwest, so to cheer us up for the weekend, let’s spin some disks !

The 70’s were years rightly maligned for many things—Vietnam, Watergate, the gremlingas crisis, polyester, the Gremlin (Yours was cool though Mike M! Even if it was brown and the heater didn’t work).

But at least there was some good music. As Homer Simpson famously said,

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It’s a scientific fact.

Let’s go back there now, shall we?

The first stop on our tour is an example of all that is unholy and wrong about the 70’s…and a one-a and a two-a

*shudder* I don’t know what’s worse, the music, or the old folks dancing. Sorry ’bout that, but the truth hurts.

Here’s some bubble gum by the Box Tops to get rid of the bad taste in your mouth…

Now for Homer’s favorite band, Grand Funk Railroad!

Let’s conclude our tour with something funky…

We better stop now before we step in some disco. Have a great weekend y’all! Stay warm!

  1. Sadly, I owned a Red Gremlin like the one in your picture in college. I worked three jobs in the summer to earn an extra $500 to buy it. Fortunately, the radio worked which made the whole thing bearable. Rock on!

    1. We’ve all driven cars we’re not proud of Julie. Mine was a 1980 Datsun 810 Maxima. It was more rust than car. I still have nightmares…brrrr…

  2. I LITERALLY shuttered at the first one, but the rest were great! (I’m just glad you didn’t play the BeeGees or Roberta Flack!)

    1. You know me better than that! Although…some day I may bust out some Minnie Ripperton just to see if anyone’s paying attention. 😉
