Tomorrow the future will be the past
And the Cubs won't win the World Series.

God I feel old. I think I was 12 when this came out. I vividly remember sitting in theater with my friend and laughing hysterically at the part when he strikes the guitar chord in front of the massive speaker and is blown across the room.

I had just graduated from high school...I must be almost dead.
PS If you slow that guitar scene down, you'll see that Michael J. Fox is jerked backwards before the amp explodes. Now I'm so crotchety I'm critiquing 80s movies stunts.

I'm contrary enough (although enjoying all the BTTF-love) to be, instead, anticipating the upcoming date from a great (at least for TV at the time) breakout dystopian-future episode of the Name of the Game series from 1971, titled L.A. 2017, based on a book by Phillip Wylie, directed by a little-known UCLA student you may have heard of -- named Steven Spielberg.
Years before the scares of Blade Runner, Animal House, or Al Gore, Spielberg anticipated oppressive police/psychiatrists, holographic webinars, global environmental disaster, the DeathMobile, and --- as the linked-below trailer shows --- a horrific, geriatric Jefferson Airplane-at-a-County Fair-near-you band (seemingly featuring Cousin Itt on drums). What's not to love?
