A few of the older SW gents may recall getting all hotted up, ready to go out in the 70s

I never SAW a real person dress like that, not in the 60s or 70s. Sure, the stars on TV did, but like online personas, they weren’t real. Long hair, yes.

There wasn’t a disco within 200 miles of my house, so no wanna-be-John Travoltas.

I really embarrassed myself a couple of years after college graduation. I stopped at a convenience store and another car immediately pulled into the next parking spot. The car’s hood had massive long horns in chrome.

I was looking at a tall young man wearing a Sly-and-the-Family-Stone hat with a long bobbing feather in the band. He wasn’t actually that tall, but his platform shoes were extremely high. He was wearing a long faux fur coat meant to look like a tiger skin. It didn’t.

Against my own will I burst into peals of laughter. Apologizing while still laughing isn’t very convincing, but I tried.

Nope. I went out in the 70's, but I never looked like that or wore anything like that.

I was never hotted up, but alas I succumbed to flares and platforms for a period. All the fashions of older generations tend to become laughable, but this one was so impractical as to be more laughable the most. If I find a picture of myself looking like that… It will be burnt. 🤦

Yes! My trousers had a lot less material in them though.

Well, I did have a shirt slightly similar to his but the rest... certainly not!

This is a disco Playlist. It goes on for a quite a while with no ads.

When I went to the clubs in the late 70s, some guys were still dressing like this:

I got my driver's license in 1977. I never looked like that. I wore blue jeans and a button up shirt when I went out. I definitely had the long hair though.
