ending is the hardest part
passing the torch time, my partner says maybe, and maybe so, time's come. a year since clocks' stepped back, 2006.
A's don't yet match all Q's, but that's as conversing in blog goes; other Q's, other A's got blog time.
perhaps why 70's, why now eludes us: maybe they never ended, maybe we share the illusion of time passing; after all, they seeped through the 80's, 90's, right into the millennium with patti smith et al. perhaps it's not the right question -- with Wonder Woman on the charts covering standards, the stuff of tatoos, and still a promoqueen with fashion cred. the original poo-poos starring in the film, though, explaining "i hope it makes a jillion dollars and every little boy and girl sees it because i think she's great....[but] i really do think that the baton need to be passed" (Melanie Ryzik, "A '70s Survivor with a Secret Identity," New York Times, 30 Oct. 2007: E2). 07 digicast 70: jessica biel plays carter playing Nam/postNam era superwoman; iraq2 version, carter gushes, "i think it's the goddess within us, the secret self" (Ryzik), that's ww's appeal. the 70's appeal too, now?
that secret 70's goddess self inside? that three-decade-long afterglow? that something (not in the way she smiles) that keeps ps looking in the mirror back at...who? the gray goddess in hiding, fronting a platinum coif? smith red carpeting a bleached harry?
did the 70's just get lost in the packaging, in the end?
