Does that mean white belts, puffy sleeves and bell bottoms may be coming back? I'm sorry, but I refuse to get back on that band wagon. Our children asked us to burn all the photos taken of them during the '70s.🙂

Dear Rob,
The black diamond is the nicest thing anyone's said for a while.
I agree completely about Twain. I once had an editor change something I wrote:
"The Chinese treated the Tibetans like ni**ers"
(I assume the asterisk is necessary to defeat censorship software)
It's offensive, he said. Yes, I said, that's the point. I'm trying to convey a really offensive concept.
It wouldn't have been so bad except that he changed it to "The Chinese treated the Tiberans like natives."
Well, yes, given that we're talking about Tibetans in Tibet, they WERE natives -- be he was devaluing the word 'native' to the same level as a grievous racial epithet.
Cheers,
Roger

Dear Kiev4a,
Don't forget the eye make-up!
Rightly was it called 'the decade that style forgot'.

Just do it.
I'm convinced that the styles of the '70s will probably return (be afraid, be very afraid) because if history teaches us anything it's that we keep making the same stupid mistakes!

Regarding creativity:
And speaking of the '70's (and 50's and 60's)...
The only credited source I could find for this masterpiece is...get this...Jackie Gleason.
Yes, *that* Jackie Gleason.
Creativity. Like the story of the well - that's a deep subject.
Best Regards,
Bill Mattocks
