Lest they forget
their roots, this isn’t any
kind of Birthday Party--
It’s The Shlain Seventies Triple Birthday Party
Bash!
Think geodesic
domes (we had), The
Brady Bunch (we watched), Disco (we
boogied), Zepplin (we
rocked), Rubik's
cube (Jordan’s 1st tv appearance), Judy
Blume's "Forever" (page 82, "Ralph"), Paco
Rabanne (we smelled), "Feeling
Groovy," (we felt groovy), and
so much more.
