I Love the 70's

[Glenn B]

Flipping through the channels this morning, came across VH1 "I love the 70s" series. Got hooked, been watching it with the wife almost all day. Good memories of our younger days.... but REALLY happy most of that stuff is in the past. :D

Fun stuff though.............. Gotta go dig out my Super Bell Bottoms... I hear they are coming back in style.........

Your expectations may have changed, but good music does not. Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" is still in my top 5 rock tunes! A true classic... (Kinda makes it hard to believe Freddie Mercury was gay, tho...)

Yah, the 70's were great to me too. The music, the posters (Farrah Fawcett), the concerts, and the .... hey wait. You're letting everyone know how old I am!!!:D

[Beezil]

goddamn goo thing I grew up in the 80's unlike you old bitches........

they let you celebrate Tina Turner in this decade........SUCKERS!

[GI-John]

I've watched both....I prefer the 80's shows, but then again, that's when I grew up.

There is an 80's strikes back show next month I think.

Key parties.....:eek:

It gives today's youth something to do....

that sorta shoots holes in your theory now doesn't it???

:D

[Scott Mac.]

I don't think there where red X's in the '80s that looked like that.

[Bent]

So that's what the `80s would have looked like:D I've often wondered why they got left off the calendar. :cool:

[HossHoffer]

If you guys don't stop making fun of the 70s I'm gonna beat you with my cane and smear my bengay on your privates. Geez, let me get back to the Brady Bunch, Howard Cosell on MNF and the original cast to Saturday Night Live while I eat some Pop Rocks and polish my platform disco shoes. And where do you think all these smiley faces came from?:) :) :) Now let me sulk while I listen to some Captain and Tennille. And for the record I'm only 45, you know like the little record. No, not a CD, a little record. Just like an LP only smaller with a bigger hole and only one song on each side......... Oh never mind.

[5-90]

Hey - I remember 45's! I also have dim memories of 78's and 16-1/3's! (yes, I've seen them both. I found the 78's - old lacquer things they were about 3/16" thick - to make good throwing weapons in a pinch and great for improvised shotgun targets...) I also had an 8-track player as well as 1/4" and 1/2" open-reel players!

My first CD player was a Citizen-made "portable" that ate AA batteries by the dozen and ran for about an hour on each set, which probably explains why I kept it plugged into the wall...

I remember when Philips/Magnavox came out with the Compact Disc format (they invented it, you know - not Al Gore or Sony,) and still have a Sony Betamax somewhere. I also have a good collection of 8-bit and 16-bit computers.

"Jane, you ignorant slut!" SNL has never been the same since the original Not Ready For PrimeTime Players moved on... Remember the "Word Association" with Chevy Chase and Garrett Morris? Classic.

Disco sukcs, but I think I still have my old "Club Member" or "Members Only" Nylon jacket (I don't recall which it was called, exactly,) I still have a vinyl record collection (33 & 45) and probably quite a few other relics from the past...

Damn.....you ARE old!! :D

[GSequoia]

I have no recollection of the time I was alive in the seventies.

I prefer it that way.

Those eight months are gone forever. :)
