Growing Up In The '70's Was Interesting...

[Jeff '79]

Gasoline & Matches
Estes Rockets, ( or just the engines), :D
The Finest Cars Out Of Detroit (late '60's, early '70's)
Model building, and then blowing 'em up
Cox airplaines
Crank phone calls
The Brady Bunch
Emergency
Happy Days
Swimming all summer
BB gun wars
And no clue about what was going on in the world , like 20% mortgage rates, and gasoline rationing, and Disco...
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Lynard Skynard, and basically the best music ever made..

Yep....Those were the days.....

What I liked about the 70's was..


All you had to do to get laid was ask a girl if she wanted to go out for breakfast, at last call when the bars were closing.

More often than not, it worked. :yesnod:

The 80's, I remember. I went from Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi to Clark Air Base, Philippines. Talk about extremes. One rolled up the sidewalk around 8pm. The other would roll you for five dollars.

Hell. I lived right outside of Harrisburg PA back then. We could be in Maryland in 45 minutes. The Ott House in Emmitsburg. We were all lucky we didn't die

[Aerovette]

Born in 61 and if it was on Casey Kasum's American Top 40, I'm sure I liked it.

I'm a bigger fan of 70's music now than I was in the 70's...disco and all.

[Iron Chef]

Born in 1960. Los Angeles was one of the coolest places to live on the planet back in the '70's. I drove around in a 440 Magnum Challenger R/T and had surfing class at my high school. Good times.

[C5Nate]

Turned 15 in 1970 so yes, the '70's was a big part of my life.


Anyone here dare to post a picture of themselves in the '70's?

Born in '61 here. The mid to late 70's were a blur for me as well and as others have stated, I'm surprised I'm still alive. There were so many mornings I'd wake up and wonder how I got home.

'76 for me.

Three tv channels and one had Bugs Bunny and Company on Saturday mornings. :seasix::D

I remember visiting friends that had cable. They had, get this, 14 channels! Woot! :lol:

I'd hit Ann before Judy any day......KC is really fat now, but back then, if you had really good coke, that's pretty much what you looked like.
