Disco Died, And All That Energy Had To Go Somewhere

I was in hysterics last night while Patrick was trying to explain to me the ‘trucking enthusiasm of the late 70s’ https://t.co/q4wXiSuIyQ

I distinctly remember my uncle being in town (from California) and taking me with him to the store to by a CB radio for his car for the long drive back. CB's were selling like hotcakes, and the young clerk enthused that they would soon be standard equipment on cars, like AM/FM radios.

I'm pretty sure some new models that year came with installed CB's as an option.  That was also about the time CB's became as popular as Nehru jackets and harvest gold and avocado green as decorative color choices.

History is always weirder than you think it is.  And yes, you always had to be there.  Punks!
