Sometimes nostalgia isn't all that attractive. Sometimes it's a little seedy.
The lights are down. The people who brought alcohol or dope are wasted,
the people who didn't are wondering why this event was called a
"party." The 8 girls on the committee, plus their two boyfriends (well,
one is just a friend who is always around to help) are starting to
clean up the decorations, ashtrays, and empty cups. Couples hold each
other on the dance floor, with no longer any pretense of dancing.
You
thought, you young 'uns, that "Stairway to Heaven" was always the last
song for the last 50 years, because it's from the 70's and has been
the last song your entire lives. But it wasn't. This was the last
song. It sucked then, too.
That depends on your crowd. In 1964 at the Star Club, this was the last song.
