Forgot...repressed...whatever

Barry had so many bad songs, it was hard to pick just one.

Ditto for the BeeGees, the DelFrancos, Tavares, Orleans, and (I know I'm gonna get flamed for this) Wings. Seriously, did Linda carry Paul's gonads in her purse during this era? "Let 'em In" and "Silly Love Songs" are two of the worst songs ever and they were written by Paul frickin' McCartney!

BigB outted me. I watched the Surreal Life and he and this model were cast members. He initially resisted her pursuit because of the age difference, but eventually he gave in and now they're living together. I can't say that I blame her. He is an attractive man. He's got a nice body, too.

"Only Women Bleed".

OK. That sucked. But "Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits" is one of the great rock n roll albums of all time.

My friend has a 70 Chevelle with a built 396 that pulls 12's in a quarter. It is a great car.

LOL...everyone has or had a friend with a Chevelle.

Not true. Clint Eastwood made several excellent movies during the 1970s. The Eiger Sanction is my Fave!

Anyone who could write a song called "Dead Babies" and have a hit is all that. "Only Women Bleed" has a special meaning and not what we all think.

I did disco in the late 70s, too!

Hopefully, in a peasant blouse, bra-less!
