Not all is lost during that time.
We heard from Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Blondie;
Styx, Cars, Foreigner, Pointer Sisters.
This crew is nothing to be sneezed at. :-)
Donna Summer sings about my old stomping grounds. I was a Sunset Person about the time this song came out--a Reagan activist in a deep-blue neighborhood--and just down the street was West Hollywood, which even then was still bluer.
