From 1978: Big Shot

Written about one of the biggest rock n' roll starfuckers of the Studio 54 era,
Bianca Jagger.

They were all impressed with your Halston dress
and the people that you knew at Elaine's
and the stories of your latest success,
you kept 'em so entertained
But now you just don't remember all the things you said
and you're not sure that you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey:
you sure did put on a show.

This Week At A Touch Of Tuesday Weld: Taking Things Back To 1977. Just Because.

Just because it's one of my favorite years to blog about, and judging from what you guys like to read on this site, you knuckleheads love 1977 as much as I do! (A helluva lot!)

Have some "Night Fever," from one of the greatest albums ever released, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever.

Super Amazing Laura Linger Fun Fact: "Night Fever" is the ring tone on my cell phone. The actual song. It's pretty cool, actually.

From 1978: Yes, I Still Want To Be Kristy MacNichol...Or, In A Pinch, Jimmy Will Do

I idolized Kristy MacNichol when I was a kid. I mean, just really worshiped the ground she walked on. And I watched this Dick Clark special back in 1978 just to catch a glimpse of her and her brother singing "He's A Dancer." So much freaking conga. This song is a WIN.
