Yes he did!
What is it about all those songs asking folks to come back to Massachusetts. I think the Bee Gees started a trend there (after Robin Gibb started a joke).
LOL! AWESOME!
I thought it was '79...Color me embarassed
Seals and Croft. Woohoo, that brings back memories!
Folks need help with the tax burden?
Isn't that terrible? Could I have something worthwhile in my brain, Shakespeare's Sonnets, that Euclid Geometry from high school? No, I have to waste the space alotted with the cast list to movies and the themes to TV shows like The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch. Plot lines, too, guest appearances, etc. Sheesh!!
(I suppose it comes in handy for times like these, eh? 
)
I bought Sea Monkeys last year. Their cool, but they didn't look like the pics in the comic books. BTW, the X-ray glasses didn't work very well either!

I'd pay good money to see Tull again!
I saw Jethro Tull in concert in Atlanta 1971-2. Like to have blown me away...the ballerina on her back looking at the camera and in slow mo she gets up, pirouette and jumps at us through the camera screen. And I wasn't smokin'!
Mine looked like pond scum.
Maybe I got a bad batch.
David Allan Coe did that song on one of his albums.
You left out aqua.
Also, geometric, shiny metallic wallpaper, with a heavy emphasis on the colors brown, silver, and orange.
THIS one is the ULTIMATE bottom-feeding piece of crap from the 70's:
Run Joey Run
(David Geddes)
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.
She called me up, late last night, she said Joe, don't come over
My dad and I just had a fight, and he stormed out the door
I've never seen him act his this way, my God, hes going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've done, he's got a gun, so
Run Joey Run Joey Run
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.
I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, WATCH OUT!
Then Julie yelled, he's got a gun, and she stepped in front of me
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down, my hands were red,
and heres the last words Julie said...
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married.....aaahhh..ahhhh
ahhhh....ahhhhh
Run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run
She needs more than a tongue for any sensation to be realized. ;o)
"You don't have to call me darlin' darlin', you never even call me by my name".
