“The hits just keep comin'. My best friend's mom growing up was heavy into this type of shit and I'm getting nostalgic for her car and the way it smelled. Do you guys remember the tree things that you had to slowly peel out of the package while it was hanging from the mirror? That was a weird phase we went through..

This music is incredible. Everything you want and more. I cry, I laugh, I dance. I think the reason why it sounds so good today is because the 70s were kind of a bummer time for the US with Nixon and the economy and such, and this music is just unbridled optimism despite all that. Have another beer! No one has a real job in LA anyway. The tunes keep the afternoon beautiful.
