I love the 70s!

The whole post below with Britney Spears in Daisy Duke cutoff jeans, belly shirt and Uggs somehow, (I can’t imagine how!)  got the song, “Dueling Banjos” stuck in my head! I am 100% serious!

Funny thing, so I was going to add a banjo track to that post, but was distracted when I found this gem of a classic clip! The Muppet Show with Steve Martin in 1977! Dueling Banjos!

The Muppet Show was one of the greatest shows of the 70’s – or ever- especially if you were a kid at that time. Muppet fans, enjoy!

Steve Martin recalls in his memoir, ‘Born Standing Up’, that his dad once beat him so bad with a belt that it led to a 30-year rift between the two.

Martin explains the situation in his book saying how he was eating dinner one night in front of the TV when "my father muttered something to me, and I responded with a mumbled, ‘What?’

"He shouted, ‘You heard me,’ thundered up from his chair, pulled his belt out of its loops, and inflicted a beating that never seemed to end.

"The next day I was covered in welts and wore long pants and sleeves to hide them at school.

"But I swore with icy determination, that only the most formal relationship would exist between my father and me, and for perhaps 30 years, neither he nor I did anything to repair the rift."

The book is to be published in December by Scribner.

Martin also talks about meeting Elvis Presley at a Las Vegas show where he was opening for Ann-Margret.

Elvis told him, "Son, you have an ob-leek sense of humor."

He then showed Martin a couple of pistols and a derringer that he was carrying.
