It's not Sunday

I didn't do a video on Sunday as it is a new year so I have changed my ways ;P. So here's one on a Wednesday instead!



I see Gerry Rafferty died, which is sad as it got me thinking about the 70s, when I was at school, then university, then work. What a packed decade that was! Sunderland won the FA Cup for one thing; I went to live in Cardiff, then Hull, then Whitby, then here, although that happened in the early 80s actually. I was working here in the 70s though, so it still counts.

I liked this song, and apparently, I still do.


There we are friends of the online variety. Doesn't matter that I've never met you, this song still stands.

Bonus icons as I'm in vintage mood.

That's such a great 70's song. Memories..are lighting the corners of my mind. :D
Ah, vintage icons are made of win. He looks particularly like a vampire in #2

When you have 4 decades of music it's amazing how some still resonate over the years.

Vampire! The only one that worked for me. Except Drusilla, who was creepy enough to fit the job description.

Drusilla - creepy personified, and she looked like she was having so much fun. I discovered recently that the actress is the daughter of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. Do you remember Space 1999? Now I am dating myself. Anyway, she really does look like Barbara Bain.

Yes I did know that and yes I do, although I remember Martin Landau from Mission:Impossible even earlier! Also X Files: Fight The Future and the Oscar winning performance as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood, which was almost as much of a cult film as its subject's output. Johnny Depp was in it anyway. He was an excellent actor and is still around!

I played life top trumps with D as he walked in the door today - number of times you've heard 'Baker Street' today - I won with 3!

Poor dude. Always sad when anyone dies :(

You really did pack a lot into the 70s! I was busy being born in '77 *g*

Love the icons - esp #1 and 6 *licks*

Aye it was all downhill from then. I know what you mean about Baker Street. I think I prefer Stuck in the Middle with You, pre-Reservoir Dogs.
