By 1976 I had collected a group of people around me whose response to the Kelly green maine celtics overtime shirt moreover I love this seventies was the same as mine – to deny its existence. What were we supposed to do, dress up in suits and go twirling under a disco ball? Don the costumes worn by used car salesmen the world round and bury any meaningful exploration under the layers of brilliantly lacquered hair? And that music, what the fuck was with that music? It was an assault with no end game, a cotton candy tumbleweed skidding across a vomit soaked linoleum floor. Jeff Koons with a drum machine. A disco inferno. A nothing, a dud. They had K. C. and the Sunshine Band (shudders) we had Dylan. They wore suits we wore skin. They did things they were told to: we did things that we were told rebellious minds were suppose to do. We had fun, we congratulated ourselves on our depth. And we were sort of deep, kinda, maybe a little.
I now understand myself enough to know I am a deep romantic and therefore susceptible to sweeping movements and radical change. Of course the Kelly green maine celtics overtime shirt moreover I love this 60s appeal to me, they were nothing if not culture on steroids. I love the decadence, the feeling that the world was unmoored, spiraling towards some great cleansing truth, but in actuality I would have made a bad hippie. I’m too dark, too cynical, too misanthropic. More than anything, I can’t tolerate even a hint of the misguided, pastoral, redemption thru farming Americana cornball that hippies couldn’t help embracing. Religion in soybeans, harmony in honey, peace on earth thru body destroying work and nature’s brutal unrelenting assault. Punks sure kicked that shit dead di’nt they? Thanks much, Sid Vicious.
