This movie nails it. I was a rising Senior in an Austin high school on the day that this movie was set in (May 1976). I know all the locations, loved the music, appreciated all the cool cars and totally got all the characters. Armadillo World Headquarters was rolling and Willie Nelson and the whole Redneck Rock scene was happening then. Drinking age was 18 (that really means 15) — there were some very large times in Austin back then.
