All of that "show the way you feel" junk

In a full-on purposeful effort to be tremendously random and musical in a 70s sort of way I give to you these images and this song (which I cannot get out of my head). The Jetsons you know. Annnndddd you love em. This image does not have their maid Rosie so apologies to hardcore Jetsons enthusiasts. But doesn't Astro's arm around George sort of say it all? Don't you think? The next photo is a sort of Kon-Tiki affair except that the ship was constructed out of all recyclables.




Finally there is Magnet and Steel.

Ahhhh yes!

Magnet and Steel.

Play it as loud as your speakers will go (you'll do it proud, believe me) and absorb the 70s vibe.



What can I say that hasn't been said before about this late 70s surprise No. 1 hit other than it came right smack dab in the middle of the disco era and, as I remember, was totally awesome in its awesomeness.

Hearing it once more makes me misty, thinking back about the end of high school and moving on in life. Remember that time? Yeah you do! All that sock-hops and drive-ins stuff and getting into a little bit of harmless trouble with friends—and laughing long and hard about it—and then moving on with your life to college and beyond. All that jazz. Magnet and Steel baby. Let it wash over you like that great lawnmower smell in the backyard on a summer evening (or some such thing). Awww hell, I'm just rambling now.
