Whoa, self-dude. Relaaaax. Go chill with people wearing fake Afros and saying bad shit like “yo” and “superfly” at this weekend’s Rock the Vine Seventies Festival, which includes a Grateful Dead tribute band, a Seventies Costume Contest, and gastric delights such as Bat Out of Hell Meatloaf and “Pot” Roast (arrrrrrgh).
