That '70s Fest
Yo, that’s bad meanin’ good
By Clay McNear
Published on May 22, 2008
The ’70s get a bad rap – not. The decade was as hokey and bubbleheaded as it appears in hindsight, a microburst of smiley-face delusion lodged between the dashed dreams of the ’60s and the grim reaping of Reagan’s “Morning in America.”
Whoa, self-dude. Relaaaax. Go chill with people wearing fake Afros and saying bad shit like “yo” and “superfly” at this weekend’s Rock the Vine Seventies Festival, which includes a Grateful Dead tribute band, a Seventies Costume Contest, and gastric delights such as Bat Out of Hell Meatloaf and “Pot” Roast (arrrrrrgh).
