Yes, I said the Bay City Rollers, Ann Margret, and ear trumpets. Bet you never thought you'd see those three things in the same sentence, right?
My brother-in-law, finder of some of the internet's most bizarre secrets, posted this on his Facebook page, and I really wanted to share it with all of my friends here.
I'm still trying to figure out how this even happened.
I hope I'm having as much fun as these folks when I get old!

I, too, want to share this with the world. Thanks for getting the weekend going, Jeanette!
The knitting lady, the dancing lady, the fist pumping gentleman...it is absolutely perfect.
I DON'T want short pants and platform shoes to make a comeback.
jane, I agree with every word you said. The poor tweens today, they're stuck with Justin Bieber! We had it so much better.
Kat, some of those ladies have better moves than me!
Fay, it's pretty amazing isn't it? I know lots of seniors who have way more engery than I do.
femme, it's just a feel-good kind of thing, isn't it?
Greenheron, I'm thinking these folks were more of the Sinatra generation, as the video is most likely from the mid-70's. I was one of the Bay City Rollers' biggest fans, and bought many an issue of Tiger Beat to fantasize over photos of Eric, Leslie, Woody (heh heh), Derek, and um, the fifth one. (My memory is going too.)
I could picture mom there. She used to come back from county fairs with some goofy hat, an autographed tape and a story about the wild new band she was now going to be listening to the rest of the summer.
Good one.......
aka, I guess now all of your co-workers think you are a Bay City Rollers fan. I could think of worse things (but give me time).
Rated and Stumbled
You could say that about the entire decade.
We were watching the John Lennon doc, "Imagine" the other night and they showed that classic clip of the Beatles playing before the Queen and assorted other luminaries in about 1964 and John telling them to rattle their jewelry. And I thought about how we always thought that was so cheeky of him to say, and how the Beatles were a whole other generation than the old fuddy-duddy Queen...and then I realized she was only about 10 years older than they were and just in her early 30's at the time!
But, yes, the 1970's. How in the world did that happen? The whole decade needs a "do-over". (Jim speculates that this clip was conceived as a joke, and he might be right.)
