Woolworths Goes Down:
Last week Woolworths officially filed for bankruptcy
If anything screams America, it’s Woolworths. (K-mart too.)
For me, the ’70s mall scene is incomplete without Woolworths.
And, of course, few things conjure up positive images of the ’70s like the Boss.
Bruce name-checking Woolworths is…America.
Little Gun’s downtown in front of Woolworth’s tryin’ out his attitude on all the cats …
Oops! How could I forget Alice Cooper?
Yeah–the only thing even more American than the Boss is the Coop. And, “Generation Landslide” is one of the great ’70s songs.
The over-indulgent machines were their children
There wasn’t a way down on Earth here to cool them
‘Cause they looked just like humans
At Kresge’s and Woolworth’s
