Its the mid-70s.

Everybody went from that attitude associated with Vietnam/Cambodia/Pol Pot/Watergate. Then we had oil embargoes/hostages in Iran and four years of Jimmy Carter and stagflation.

Everyone was serious. Things looked grim. Everyone was ticked off and political.

Then came Steve Martin and his silly humor. Yes, he’s not the greatest comedian, but he is exactly what was needed. Well, him and Ronald Reagan.

Well it appears from this, Steve was not a Reagan fan:

“What I Believe.”

I believe in rainbows and puppy dogs and fairy tales.

And I believe in the family - Mom and Dad and Grandma.. and Uncle Tom, who waves his p___s.

And I believe 8 of the 10 Commandments.

And I believe in going to church every Sunday, unless there’s a game on.

And I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, wholesome and natural things.. that money can buy.

And I believe it’s derogatory to refer to a woman’s breasts as “boobs”, “jugs”, “winnebagos” or “golden bozos”.. and that you should only refer to them as “hooters”.

And I believe you should put a woman on a pedestal.. high enough so you can look up her dress.

And I believe in equality, equality for everyone.. no matter how stupid they are, or how much better I am than they are.

And, people say I’m crazy for believing this, but I believe that robots are stealing my luggage.

And I believe I made a mistake when I bought a 30-story 1-bedroom apartment.

And I believe the Battle of the Network Stars should be fought with guns.

And I believe that Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was - an arctic region covered with ice.

And, lastly, I believe that of all the evils on this earth, there is nothing worse than the music you’re listening to right now. That’s what I believe.
