Ouch.

Also just an eensie-weensie bit too old to be completely credible in
tight red drainies, Converse high-tops and sleeveless "Please Kill Me"
T-shirt, doin' the knock-kneed Danelectro-and-hornrims stance and
announcing the End of History in B flat major. 

Assuming you played guitar, o'course.

Not that anybody in 1977 did, anyway. Great time to be alive and
chock-full o' Nothing.
