It seems, sometimes, the best way to use today's technology is to search for scraps of yesterday's simplicities.
Luckily, I suppose, is that most nostalgic debris exists somewhere on the 'net (might be audio only, or someone just videotaping their television, or one single picture).
This interview on one of the biggest shows of the day (but with a continued character study even today, of david letterman) - this is pure gem capture of 1982. Right down to Letterman asking Carole King what she got paid to write studio songs - and kept asking until she answered. King's nerves with confidence, her headband, the piano player on national tv in a tank top, getting the mic caught and no stage hand coming to her rescue, the way she constantly adjusts her hair while in the her mega boots, the music itself. Gads, I wish we could return to the innocence of naiveity around self, fame, anything being filmed...
