Camming in that hoodie pays my rent. Deal with it.

I am damn glad I wasn't around during the 70's. The period had the worst set of fashion and technology in all of the 20th Century, but the 1970's had great music and films. Even the pornographic films back then were pretty awful.

Innovations in technology in the seventies laid the foundation for everything that came in decades since. You can't just skip the seventies and think you'd be on the internet today.

It was great. $20 oz. for weed. The going theme was gas, ass, or grass. Nobody rides in my car for free. Built a nice little social network for everyone. We didn't need 200 Facebook friends to plan our stuff. They didn't proof you at the bars so at 16 there was a better than even chance you could get in. Easy to talk your way out of a ticket too. Today the cop makes you stay in your car. Back then you would get out and walk to the cop inside his car. They saw that as courtesy and respect since they didn't want to get cold or wet.

OK, the hair styles were atrocious, I grant you. But in the '70s defense, we had the Doobies, Led Zep, the Grateful Dead's best years, Starsky & Hutch, Pryor and Carlin at their peaks, the original SNL and Ali, Frazier and Foreman. There was no cable TV, no 24/7 news or anything else, 1/10th of the reporters and lawyers that there are now, and Bugs Bunny reigned supreme on Saturday morning.

I have no problem saying that I miss the '70s and I have nothing but disdain and loathing for the '80s.

@xfire
Well okay you have a point there but looking back im glad I was around during that time. Weren't a lot of Americans on coke back in the 70's?

1. It showed a still of grass and a random names in the show's opening's typeface, and still I knew what show it was. That's kinda sad.

2. Mary Ingalls was hot.

Glad you were or glad you weren't?

Cocaine apparently got big back in the seventies, if you believe the movie Blow. I don't know, I was born in '73. I don't think it's cool to shit can a whole decade because some aspects were whack. If you think any decade was perfect you've got on some serious blinders.

A lot of Americans were on coke in the 80's too, and also crack. I saw it sweep like wildfire through my social circle.

Not to mention the butt flu (aids) came of age in the eighties.

Once you hear that theme song you'll never forget it.

Didn't need that. Like I said, a still of grass and random names in the show's opening's typeface, and still I knew what show it was. I knew before I hit play, just based on the low rez preview shot in the player.

Star Wars???

OK, I was just a snot nosed kid but I do remember most of the decade. Muscle cars, Allman Brothers, Zepplin, Skynyrd, The Who, playing outside all day without needing to have someone making sure that you weren't snatched, riding a bike without a helmet, sitting on Dads lap and "steering" the car. Then Disco came along and ruined the whole damn thing.

No shit. If you were wearing a helmet while riding a bike, you better be on your way to/from football practice, otherwise the rest of he kids were going to draw time-assignments out of a hat just to call you and tell you what a pussy you are. These days, I think there's an island prison out in the Pacific for parents whose kids don't wear those dumbass-looking brain buckets.

Monty Python and Mel Brooks. Smoke a cigarette anywhere you wanted. Lighters, ash trays and front bench seats were standard equipment in cars (starting in 2014 there will no longer be front bench seats available for any American car even as an option.) No seatbelt laws. Trick or treating was done at night.

The 80s really weren't much better...I remember my mom teasing my bangs up to form a brick wall (after all the hairspray) and the spandex. *shudder*

Thankfully Kurt Cobain saved us in the 90s and it went to skater wear. ;-)

spandex was sexy and hot

70's were cool for the cars.
