Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Time Warp: January 11, 1977-- Part 1

Bob Stroud divides his Time Warps into two hour and a half segments five years apart.

In 1977, I was in my 4th year of teaching and second year in our new house in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. It cost the princely sum of $33,000 and had a full basement and about 1100 square feet.

We had a garage built for around $3,000 and the whole thing was ruled by our mutt, Brandy. I was in the Jaycees and having a great time. It was like a college fraternity. I was also on the RLB Planning and Zoning Commission.

We had some of the greatest neighbors you could hope for.

HELLO OLD FRIEND-- ERIC CLAPTON-- George Harrison's old friend.
THIS SONG-- GEORGE HARRISON-- Eric Clapton's old friend, (even after he stole George's wife)
I WISH-- STEVIE WONDER-- from what many might argue as the album of the year "Songs in the Key of Life"

FLY LIKE AN EAGLE-- STEVE MILLER-- current release and title track of their LP
DREAMBOAT ANNIE-- HEART-- out of the Pacific Northwest, very big debut and title selection of their new LP
SOMEBODY TO LOVE-- QUEEN-- current release from Freddie Mercury and Queen

Cop Comment: "The answer to the last question will determine whether you're drunk or not, Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"
