In 1978 we saw the collision of Punk, Disco, and Rock. John Travolta appeared in not one, but two iconic movies, both filled with music. This episode opens with the Rock/Disco fusion of the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You,” the segues into the Rock/Punk/Jazz fusion of the “Roxanne,” by the Police, and finishes with one of the anthems of the year, the flat out disco of “Stayin’ Alive,” by the BeeGees. It was a heck of a year for recording and composing in France and singing in falsetto.

Our $25 Goodwill B&W TV broke in 1978. To compensate for the lack of home entertainment, we must have seen Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Annie Hall, and Star Wars at least 5 times EACH.
