#the 70s
Ok, I HATE mannequins. I don’t know what made me want to watch this but, I’m actually glad I did and think about it from time to time. It’s the classic trope of a group of attractive friends getting stranded and being picked off by the monster/s of the movie(1979) one by one.
On this night in 1976, Lorne Michaels invited The Beatles to reunite live on SNL — for $3,000.

Dolly Parton And Mick Jagger Backstage At The Bottom Line, 1977
You know what wasn’t happening in New York City in 1977? Country music. Punk rock was happening, disco was happening, and early hip hop was happening – all cutting-edge stuff. Country music was as far from the cutting edge as could be. But Dolly Parton didn’t much care, as you might expect. Big hair, big voice, big smile – big, you know, everything – Dolly Parton has never given the impression that she frets too much about what other people think.
And so in May 1977, Dolly was booked for three performances at New York City’s Bottom Line. (Though she was a fish out of water in New York, she wasn’t totally without fans – like Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler, she was a favorite of urban gay communities.) On this occasion, some boldface names of the nightlife scene came to the 400-seat venue to see her. After all, she was Dolly. Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and John Belushi – all of whom had respect for country music – were all in the crowd that night, and Dolly blew the doors off the place.
