ZOWEEE! Glory Be! Why does that polyester shirt with the ruffled collar and matching tight bellbottoms look so alluring all of the sudden? Why am I pouring out this domestic schwill in favor of a vodka martini? Where’s that medallion? Take my picture!

There is a reason for this overwhelming era-shift. Likely it is one of the following:

- Music like this -- "Beat, Now Sound, Soul & Soundtrack nuggets" -- normally only gets played during scenes in movies where everyone starts swinging.
- Your car looks too much like a bread box and not enough like an Aston Martin.
- The Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass collection has outlived its usefulness.
- Hip dress-making shops everywhere will play this CD at least once.
- The Dieter Zimmerman cover of "Whole Lotta Love" is like two collaborating bands, one marching and one garage, cocked, locked, and taking aim at a 1970 Top 10 German single at the senior prom.
- “Drift” by Heinz Kiessling will induce an uncontrollable fit of high-speed freeway driving.
- My parakeet has a polka dot cage slip, and I installed a disco ball above the fountain in the foyer. We are ready for our guests, and soon the purple elephant parade will begin.
