Janet Jackson use said she went to Studio 54 when she was 10 and said she wondered why adults wanted to sniff what she thought was flour lol. WTF, I wasn't around in the 70s but was the deal if you were the child or someone well known or the sister of someone famous you could get in?
@Dena Benj: It was the 70s, man, last gasp of the glory years of childhood neglect as a parenting style. No seatbelts, no bike helmets. Throw your books in the house at 3 pm and disappear till dark, no questions asked. Then Mom and Dad carted you to the neighborhood bar/club and installed you at the table in the corner with a coloring book and virgin daiquiris till closing. Good times.
@LeighAnne: Oh dear. Apologies to Grey Gardens owner/Washington Post writer/Mrs. Ben Bradlee Sally Quinn. That name popped into my head immediately when I read that.
@ellagood: If that were ever to happen (which it won't!), I am going to put "This Used to Be My Playground" on repeat and look at the world all wistfully through tear-filled eyes.
You know, it would be really awkward if Anderson suddenly became conscious of a long-repressed memory about that night, right in the middle of his show.
