After falling asleep listen to a classic rock station, I woke up when The Wings “Band On The Run” was playing.
Much to my surprise I was wearing bell bottom jeans and a polyester shirt festooned with Hot Air Balloons. My first thought was “I wonder what year it is?”

I guessed my clothes put me in the early 70’s.
Nineteen seventies that is. You never know, I know a lot of wise asses.

Apparently I had no control of the fashion choices when I awoke from a virtual reality dream.

Did the fact that I was listening to a classic rock song from the seventies condemned me to waking up in any fashion from that year?
It certainly appeared so.

1970s fashion was not considered good. To be honest it stunk. Hundreds of years from now they will look at archive pictures and think we didn’t have the necessary tools to create anything that looked better. The bell bottoms were not a bad fashion choice, the polyester balloon festooned shirt made up for that. It could have been worse , leisure suits were also in vogue at the time. To be honest they never really should have been.

I don’t know why this happens , yes it’s happened more than once. Perhaps I get a bit lost in the nastalgia of the time. Either way its one of the dangers I face when listening to the music of my youth which is why I avoid it when I can. Perhaps Im worried of waking up in a powder blue leisure suit, don’t ask.

It could be that I made too many mistakes in the past, including owning a leisure suit and I don’t need to be reminded of them. That is a possibility but I’m not admitting to anything. Does this sound too fantastic to be believed? Well I’m getting older and closer to making up shit. Perhaps I’m already there.
