[lindabthompson1968]

oh god - they whiny sniveling voices of these children - i lived in santa barbara then, and the town was and still is filled with the entitled set. i am a transplant, originally from nyc by way of....minnesota of all places ---- these kids are so full of themselves. how did this happen? yes, their parents had a lot of marital problems, but whose parents didn't then ?? i know too much about this family ----

[SuperBlackChic]

I liked how the other kids are dressed. lance looks like a mess.

Um, Miketheprofessor, if you look at pictures of Robin Williams and many others in the late 70's - Magnum P.I., etc. they all wore the Hawaiin shirts, jeans, sport coats..I'm a gal and I notice fashion.

[Miketheprofessor]

@yokie52 Um, Yokie, thanks for proving my point. Magnum P.I. was the 1980s, not the 70s! As for Williams, you're flat wrong, you're confusing him with his alien persona on Mork & Mindy, which was NOT SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE FASHION REALITY OF THE LATE 70s! There's a clip here on Youtube, Robin Williams, from 1978. Search "robin williams" and "1978" for it. Note the pointy 70s collar, the hairstyle especially, he'd fit right in with Grant & kevin Loud--BUT ABSOLUTELY NOT LANCE!

[Miketheprofessor]

@yokie52 - Also Yorkie, you should please acknowledge that 1978 has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on 1973, even if R. Williams was dressing like Lance then (which he WASN'T!) I was actually there, paying a great deal of attention to fashions throughout the 70s and 80s, were you? 1973: Shag haircuts, platform shoes for guys, glam rock, etc. The early to mid-80s: Lance Loud exactly as he was dressed in this clip. R. Williams in 1970s: just like Grant and Kevin, Williams in 1982? Just like Lance!

[yokie52]

I don't know what year this was filmed, or how old gaykid is..but fashions change gradually, not, Oh! it's 1980, everything changes immediately. Lance's outfit is very Mork of Mork and Mindy, which aired in 1978.

[Miketheprofessor]

@yokie52 - Actually, Yokie, you've missed the point entirely, the kid's right. Mork was an alien with no idea how to act or dress, that was the point of the TV series, and his sartorial choices were definitely NOT 1978 (and especially not 1973). And I do know, I was in high school in the late 70s and early 80s, I can assure you Lance was just about exactly 10 years ahead of his time for hair style and attire. Simple fact.

[anapao89]

Where can I see any of their documentaries, like an american family and the one from lance's finals days? PLEASE HELP!

[OnlyMORMONsGo2Heaven]

Did he say "Homo of the Year 1971" at 3:44? Hilarious!!!! I love Lance

[MrLemmy2000]

@OnlyMORMONsGo2Heaven are you one too?

[Tanya1976]

Lance was really hilarious. Gone too soon.

[NYKID10014]

I prefer Lance with long hair

[madmenfan1965]

There funny :)

[gaykid80]

It's incredible to see how, in this interview shot in '73, everybody's style is so '70s except Lance's. He is already dressed as if he was in the '80s. Always ahead of his time. R.I.P.

[ladyvee7110]

@gaykid80 Wow...you're not kidding.

[MrLemmy2000]

@gaykid80 I agree with you, I think he knew alot about newest fashion because he was gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) Still for 1973 he had MTV look witch didn't start til 1980

[MrLemmy2000]

@MrLemmy2000 also he was in a punk band witch didn't care for the hippie look

[3909clancy]

@MrLemmy2000 That is soo stupid to say what the hell does being gay have to do with fashion??Total nonsense.
