Ron Howard

Ronald William "Ron" Howard (born March 1, 1954) is an American film director, producer, and actor, best known for playing two high-profile roles in television sitcoms in his childhood and early adulthood, and for directing a number of successful feature films later in his career.

He first came to prominence playing young Opie Taylor in the sitcom The Andy Griffith Show for eight years, and later teenager Richie Cunningham in the sitcom Happy Days for six years. Meanwhile, he appeared in the musical film The Music Man (1962), the coming of age film American Graffiti (1973), the western The Shootist (1976), and the comedy Grand Theft Auto (1977), which he also directed.

In 1980, he left Happy Days to focus on directing. His films include the science-fiction/fantasy film Cocoon (1985), the historical docudrama Apollo 13 (1995), the biographical drama A Beautiful Mind (2001) (which earned him the Academy Award for Best Director), and the thriller The Da Vinci Code (2006). In 2002, Howard conceived the Fox/Netflix comedy series Arrested Development, on which he would also serve as producer and narrator, and play a semi-fictionalized version of himself.

1976

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
