3.) Which scene do you think you would’ve been involved in, in 1977? What job would you have liked to have at the time?

I think certain elements of the Punk Rock scene would have been really fun to experience, especially the music scene. I think it would have been really cool to hang out at CBGB a few nights. I also think that going to some of the DJ battles and parks in The Bronx would have been like a party to witness.
