    1973, the year I started school and the Bay City Rollers were king!

    What’s unnerving to me is that I was in college in 1973, so someone starting school in 1973 sounds, as Sheila notes, rather “puppish”. And yet that same pup is nowadays 40 or 41. . . .

    What’s amazing is that “Roll Away the Stone” hasn’t been covered a half dozen times.

    The first Mott the Hoople album I owned was, by the way, the first Mott the Hoople album. Yes, I’m old.

    And yet: I am not (old). Is it not wondrous? And quite possibly amazing? (But scarcely unnerving.)
