70s music really gets me down sometimes. When I was a child in the 70s, I had such a clear idea of what my adult life was going to look like. I would be thin and stylish, and there would still be lots of feathered hair and discothèques. OK, so most of my sense of what adulthood was like probably came from watching too much
Love Boat and
Fantasy Island (with a pinch of
Cinderella thrown in for good measure), but I was definitely certain that all of my problems would be solved by the sheer act of growing up.
I hear 70s music now and sometimes I just feel so fucking ripped off. This is not the bill of good I was promised. I want a fucking refund!
