I been waiting for another 70s revival and it looks like it's already upon us, what with the 80s electro/clash/trash/thrash/mash that's been around for awhile now, making things from the 70s even more accessible.
Without going into an extended diatribe on what might or might not happen with some kinda 70s revival, I'll cut right to the good stuff --> The music had attitude.
Music in the 70s... Lets see, there was rock in all kinds of flavors, disco, soul, r&b, jazz... People were gettin down to all kinds of good stuff. I suppose the pre-AIDS attitudes of the times were quite carefree, and the living the rockstar life became the dream/fantasy of people everywhere.
To give an example, the 70s made possible music/ lyrics like this:
1. Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand... Who's wine? What wine?? Where the hell did I dine??!!
-Pete Frampton, "Do you feel like I do" from the massive album "Frampton Comes Alive" an Arena Rock classic.
2. I been walkin Central Park, singing after dark, people think I'm crazy...
-Rolling Stones, "Miss You" from the 78 album "Some Girls"
3. I go to parties sometimes until four, It's hard to leave when you can't find the door...
-Joe Walsh, "Life's been good" from the 78 album "But seriously folks"
So, 70s, welcome back... Now bring on the excess..
