Clinton "Clint" Eastwood, Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the late 1960s, and as Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, and The Dead Pool) throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, among others, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity.
For his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004), Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor. These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Escape from Alcatraz (1979), Tightrope (1984), Pale Rider (1985), Heartbreak Ridge (1986), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995), and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim. Eastwood's only comedies have been Every Which Way but Loose (1978) and its sequel Any Which Way You Can (1980), which are his two most commercially successful films after adjustment for inflation.
Feels so good to see you here
Nothing ever seems to happen in this place, now
Tomorrow's bright, or so they say
Forget the days of future past, because now it's 1976
Hey there baby, say, what's your sign
I could tell it was the same as mine
Tube top momma nearly six feet tall
She is the fox of the shopping mall
This is the era, this is the time
You know you've got to boogie 'cuz your platforms are fine
Feels so good to see you here
Nothing ever seems to happen in this place, now
Tomorrow's bright, or so they say
Forget the days of future past, because now it's 1976
Afros and apple pie
Camaro sports cars, gasoline lines
Everything is red, white and blue
We hate it here 'cuz there's nothing to do
Until some friends on a space trip
Flew in on the free bird, now can you dig
Feels so good to see you here
Nothing ever seems to happen in this place, now
Tomorrow's bright, or so they say
Forget the days of future past, because now it's 1976
Baby can't you hear it
Baby can't you feel it
Baby got the spirit
Baby can't you hear it
Baby can't you feel it
Baby got the spirit
Feels so good to see you here
Feels so good to see you here
Feels so good to see you here
1976
Feels so good to see you here (Feels so good)
Feels so good to see you here (Just to see you here)
Feels so good to see you here
1976
Feels so good to see you here (I feel good)
Feels so good to see you here
Feels so good to see you here

Rockie burned up the movie screen and I was turnin seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress
And that was 1976, didnt know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me, life seemed easy
Nothin much that we needed
That was 1976, didnt know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
[Instrumental Interlude]
Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive
Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time
And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin till we got it right
And that was 1976, didnt know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
Yeah, that was 1976, didnt know who we were yet
Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976
