Small town hunk circa 1979

Apparently the ghost of the small town hunk is still out there driving around in his Buick Skylark convertable. I pulled up next to him at a stop light a summer or two back. I was shocked to find him here in the rustbelt so far from his midwestern home. He was still tan, shirtless, blonde hair to the nape of the neck his left arm resting on the top of the door frame the hand just draped over the steering wheel and the right arm stretched out along the back of the bench seats where his girl ought to be sitting. In 1979 he was probably listening to REO Speedwagon but this one had upgraded to the Kinks.

That's a bit more than an "upgrade" I must say!! Just having the genius of Ray Davies with that AOR nightmare is too much for this Muswell Hillbilly Boy to bear....!
