Here's a trip down the 1970s' memory lane! The setting of Richard Linklater's 1993 movie, Dazed and Confused, is the last day of the year at a high school in a small Texas town in 1976. The seniors are hazing the incoming freshmen, and everyone is trying to get stoned, drunk, or laid, even the football players who have signed a pledge not to.
Now, I must say that no cat in his/her right mind would sign a pledge to avoid catnip, but then, we're rarely jailed for getting stoned on that particular weed.
The film offers glimpses of the early careers of actors such as Matthew McConaughey, Milla Jovovich, Ben Afflect, Parker Posey, and even an uncredited Renée Zellweger.
The soundtrack includes tunes by many of the '70s all-stars: Alice Cooper, Kiss, Foghat, Black Sabbath, ZZTop, Lynryd Skynyrd, and more. Even my GramCat wasn't alive in the '70s, but most of this music has stood up well over the past 40 years. Take a little nip, and take a little trip back in time.
Peace out!
