C'mon, man, that's what everybody looked like in 1978. Give 'em a break.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

Well, at least all it's known for is the burning of... stuff. The Eighties had BIG HAIR and is pretty much solely responsible for burning a hole in the ozone layer. All that hairspray... DUUUDE!!!

Hey, I didn't say the eighties weren't ugly.[8D] A Danish TV station is re-running Miami Vice at the moment; My non-existent God, people dressed oddly back then!

Picture kinda reminds me of what the back cover of a Kansas album looked like.

There's actually a police mug shot of BG doing the rounds on the net. Apparently he got busted for speeding back in the 70's and M$ hasn't been able to completely buy up all of the police records. Wonder what the cop who busted BG is doing now...

He doesn't seem to realise (or care) that he's violated a law. A precursor of things to come, mayhap?

I drive over speed limit every day, as many others. It's not a criminal offence in Canada, BTW. I'm not sure about US though.

Usually just considered a misdemeanor - you usually have to do something outrageous to get pulled in (100 in a 25/school zone, try to outrun the cops, or some such.) Don't know why BG got pulled in to the station...

He had a suspended license I believe for speeding violations in the past atleast thats what the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley indicated. Decent movie too if anyone hasnt seen it as it covers Steven Jobs and Bill Gates rise to power. Gates comes off as a evil little maniac, Jobs as an arrogant/abusive ass, Ballmer as a bumbling idiot only Wozniak seemed normal :)

Hummm I suppose to the youngsters here it might seem so, but back then in the 70's our styles etc were rocking!

Noise? What Noise? It's sooooo quiet and Peaceful!

I was born in 1973, so the seventies were inflicted on me, too [X(]
