Barry & Iris Allen's American Bandstand!!

Most of you probably don't remember the brief period when Barry & Iris had a young co-ed living with them:

Given the way current DC writers have fixated on minor supporting characters from the Flash's past as love interests, I'm frankly surprised that no one has tried to to re-introduce Stacy as a nu52 love interest for the "younger, less experienced" Flash.

Anyway, the Allens are giving Stacy a lift to class one day...

Yes, it's 1975, and Iris Allen is still baffled by pop music. And you thought Barry was the uncool, stick-in-the-mud person in this relationship.

Indeed, Barry has some trenchant commentary on the world of pop music:

Ouch!! Cruel but true, Barry...

Sadly, as far as I'm aware, we never got Iris' reaction to hip-hop, or electronica...

From Flash #233 (1975)

I never trusted that Stacy Conwell. Although I do tend to get her mixed up with that psychic would-be marriage wrecker on the motorbike.

I know it wasn't him, but I'm getting a Rick Veitch vibe from that picture of Stacy. Weird...
