The elder Freeman accuses the two men of kidnapping. When Willy and Frank try to return the child, the child’s father shoots Willy. Willy and Frank then flee from the authorities to California. Because Willy is surienng rrom a gunshot wound, Frank must take care of both of them. The two meet a doctor who tells Frank that he can get him a new kidney by shutting down his body until the new organ is avail able. Frank agrees to the procedure for both himself and Willy, who is under anesthesia and cannot speak for him self. The procedure, called cryonic life-extension, shuts the men’s bod ies down. Their frozen bodies are put in barrels and stored for 29 years. Richter must have realized that the audience would be skeptical of this time-saving procedure because he did uui iucu» uic uucvuuu ui uic luuvic on the surreal, bogus life-extension. It is easy to call the second half, the ’90s half, of the movie a tear jerker as Willy and Frank try to get their lives back. Emotions run high as Willy searches for the family he un knowingly left behind. Writer Mark Andrus mixes drama with humor as the mentally slow Frank encounters 1990 technology and cul ture. And, with that intelligent writing, Andrus creates a movie about a dream of the return of missing loved ones. Group driven to hide past, polyester I’m here today to talk about a hidden minority among us, an invis ible and disenfranchised group who hide in the shadows but deserve our pity, our help. These people, both men and women, often are ashamed to invoke their rights. They must rely on me and people like me, to inform others of their predicament. I’m talking about ’70s people. They’reentering their early thirty something years — that special time when one is given the opportunity to look back on one’s life and to reflect on what one has accomplished. But ’70s people are denied the opportu nity to be proud of their accomplish ments. Theirolder siblings may have been ’60s people, hippies, Jesus freaks or Ho Chi Minh supporters, growing their hair long, wearing holes clear through their jeans in protest. People of the ’60s created some of the current clas Mark Baldridge sics of rock V roll, then suddenly became investment bankers and matte a killing on the market. In their wake, ’60s people left a legacy that today’s young people are looking to for inspiration. When to day’s generation looks back, they find in the ’60s a decade of disruption any century would be proud of. But looking back at the ’70s, to day’s generation finds double-knit. People of the ’70s danced to the Vil lage People and the Bee Gees. Theirs was certainly a decade of indulgence. And that’s something to be proud of. But ’70s people indulged without the thin, but necessary, patina of ideal ism. They refused to preach. Yet, they may have had more sex than any previous generation. For this, they can never be forgiven. Think about it. There must be millions on the straggling end of the baby boom for whom the ’70s were the happiest times of their lives. It was a peacock decade, a time to strut your stuff. For homosexuals, it was lime to come out of the cramped closet that had wrinkled their clothes suspiciously.

Forgotten in the dust was “Give Peace a Chance,” admittedly, an annoying mantra. Now was the time for “Staying Alive.” Where are those ’70s people to day? One occasionally finds a be draggled, aging hippy with authentic red, white and blue peace patches holding ancient denim together. I’ve run across these creatures and felt a little like Billy Pilgrim come unstuck in time. But where are the decaying leisure suits? Where are the sideburns and wide collars that looked like some thing from “The Flying Nun?” All this wealth has been bequeathed to the Elvis impersonators and other consignment store crazies. Today a man in a polyester shirt is the subject of ridicule. Look at all the sitcoms. Everything in our culture says to the ’70s generation, “Renounce the ’70s or be ostracized.” In films and novels, the’60s are glorified. One would almost forget, if one’s memory was short, that the same people now saying no to drugs once said, “Yes, yes, yes. Oh, a thou sand times, YES!” Hippies were of ten dirty and disrespectful, unproduc tive citizens. They were experts at minding other people’s business, both personal and political. They were sometimes bad people, following persona] agendas and using “mind games” and coercion to gel their way. The ’70s, by contrast, was the live and-let-live era. True, drug use was rampant, but it less frequently inter fered with the ability to work, to perform tasks useful to society. Rather the point, don’t you think? Obviously, there are good and bad things about any generation. So why must the children of the ’70s suffer? They are forced into hiding. They gave up their beloved “Xanadu” eight tracks long ago. But that was not enough. Now they are told they must publicly ridi cule their former joy, cutting off the possibility of fond reverie. I call on the humanity in each one of you. Stop the senseless persecution of a more innocent age. Let’s create an atmosphere of acceptance for our friends who, in their heart of hearts, never gave up their will to “boogie” or their platform souls.
