| Oh please oh please no... So why is it that when they say the 70's are back in style, they mean platform shoes, velour shirts and lime-green ultra-suede vests? I couldn't believe my ears this week when someone told me that plaid pants were coming back in style. Whaddya mean BACK in style? these stretchy frickin' itchy dumbass pants were NEVER stylin'!!
The Brady kids wore 'em. The Bay City Rollers wore 'em. I even wore 'em because the cheap ones you could buy at the local Zellers County Fair looked and felt no different than the fancy pants being sold at Maude Arnam's in town. It was peer pressure and I won't do it again!
Why is it that the bad stuff gets revived and we all accept it in that "ironic" way because it's funky in a kitsch sort of way? And who the hell is making these decisions anyway? They must be stopped. Because you know, friends, we're just a few years away from an 80's revival, and you don't want them haircuts and parachute pants again do you? Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go boots. Ack! It just won't do!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I was a teenager in the 70's. There was nothing fashionable or interesting about it. Okay, there was good music, lots of it (NOT disco!) And there were good movies. A lot of them with intelligent middle-aged women in leading roles! Imagine!
And here's my big worry... with plaid pants coming back in style, you know we're only one step away from a Shields and Yarnell revival. And who, my friends, could stomach that? Oh sure, there were some good family variety shows in the 70's, like Carol Burnett, Sonny and Cher, and Flip Wilson. But I have to draw the line at robotic mimes!
