VEGA, I believe.

No, I meant Vegas. Plural.

It just wasn't my Vega that was bad. ALL Vegas were bad. Every last one of them. (Mine just happened to be worse than most of them.)

To this day, my brother will say, "Hey, you remember that POS Vega hatchback my brother used to have in med school where the paint had peeled off down to the primer and he would paint it over with Rust-o-leum? And how he always had to have plastic milk bottles filled with water in the back because there was no way to keep the radiator from leaking? And how it blew an engine twice and how it........"

Money was really tight for me back then. When the Vega died for the last time in my senior year, I spent several months taking the city bus to the hospital.

Sure. Do you do windows? ;-)

Disco music replaced live music. It remains a problem to this day.

There is a split between popular "production" music with a lot of flash (and drugs) and the live experience.

Whether it is cocaine and disco or ecstasy and house music, it is all drugs and bad beats. There is no heart.

I'm just going to guess it's because the 22-year-old model is a family member of yours. No need to affirm if you don't want to.

Worst ever:

So YOU were the one I skated with! ;)

My, but weren't you super-fly.

Classic male beauty is hard to define.

Worthless macrame art. Oh lovely. I do remember some useful macrame!

LOL! Oh yeah. Not much has changed in that regard. You gotta love that they are still as flat as a pancake.

There was a song called Chevy Van. Had to be the world's cheesiest song!

I remember the song! It was pretty bad.

[weegee]

Bad: jumpsuited fat Elvis

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

Don't speak ill of the BeeGees. Falsetto turns me on.

[pissant]

You can have it. Disco is dead. Scooby lives on!

I'm with ya on the doobies and peasant blouses (the sheerer versions). ;o)

I was listening to one of those "History of Rock and Roll" things on the radio over the weekend and heard several songs that reminded me just how bad some of the bad music from the 70's was:

"I am Woman"

"Having My Baby"

"Never Been To Me"

ugh!

[weegee]

I never thought I'd see the day that Disco and Jimmy Carter would make a comeback.

There were some good muscle cars still being built. Not many though!
