One more time, with gusto… It was…Okay, one more than back to the 1977 time line.
My kids ask me why I acted the way I did back in the day and my usual reply is “It was the 70s.” Like that’s an excuse for being drunk/high all the time for most of 1977. But, it was a glorious time to be young and stupid, and I fit the bill perfectly.
Each generation has its own tale… the 60s were just freaky, the 50s were too cool with all the cars and trouble young folks got into. We in the 70s just happen to have had sex, drugs and rock and roll on our side. Today, you kids have all these fancy STDs to deal with. We had free clinics.

No song in the title because, well, we’re not in 1977 anymore Toto… and I couldn’t come up with one that fit.
That explains it all. Haha!
what about ‘my generation’ by the who? don’t think it was 70’s… but it would fit.
My Back Pages by the Byrds?
Yeah… I was gonna suggest “Get Back” by the Beatles but that’s probably way too early for the 70’s, right? Still though, the lyrics “get back…. get back to where you once belonged” would seem perfect.
Well, except for it being the wrong time, of course. 🙂

bad reputation seems suitable as well (thin lizzy)
but hell, if byron doesn’t care, neither do i. you already impressed me by (fairly) accurately picking seventy(seven)’s songs throughout the comic.
seeing we’re talking about this… how do you do it? any method except for memory meets google?
a song to fit this one and 2007, I’d say “I’m in love with Stacy’s Mom” but doesn’t fit perfectly.
Hilarious scene.
You definitely must do something about the daughter’s looks. She seems to be the oldest girl of the entire comic, heheheh. 🙂
I hope old Jeff shows up anytime soon. He’s probably a suit today, probably running some company named “Jeffsons&Jeffsons” or something like that. 😀
Just popped in from yesterday. Great comic!
I have a strange memory that allows me to clearly recollect images and conversations from a time when people around me acted like I would never remember the things they did and said in my presence. It’s a little shudder-inducing sometimes when I remember my grandmother running around the house naked.
Byron, you’ve outdone yourself sir!! I just now (noon thirty in my neck o the woods) saw the Sunday & today’s strips. “Tie Your Mother Down”; perfect fit! For my money, Queen’s best track, & one of the best rockers to come out of the mid-to-late 70’s, period. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the 70’s. I’m the same age as you, and definately think that it was the best time to come of age in. We didn’t have to deal with the conservative mores of the 50’s, social turmoil of the 60’s, the draft, aids, guns in school & drive-by shootings, the violence of hip-hop culture, etc., & attitudes about booze & drugs were much looser & laid back. It was definately a time of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll & a great time as you said, to be young & stupid. Love the new eyes, btw… I thought the black dots made the ladies’ eyes look beady.
Another vote for My Back Pages here. But are you trying to say that sex, drugs and rock and roll ended in the 80s? I bet that would come as a surprise to all the metal fans!
Hey man i like the new way that you do the eyes a lot just promise me that you wont do the same for Bud or the girls. i have come too accustomed for a change.
Byron, re sex drugs and rock & roll, you are right, Sinatra had groupies so his records were probably seduction weapons!
No more sex, drugs and rock and roll, not in any order. Now its AIDS, crack and techno. Sad times these are indeed.
