I was a few years behind you. I entered high school the school year after you graduated, or 9th grade anyway. But very similar stuff.I graduated high school in '78. The moon landings stopped, we got out of 'Nam, we were treated to wall to wall coverage of Watergate, and the Freedom Train made it's way across the country. Musically, I remember that many popular 60's artists died in the now traditional manner. Some like Simon & Garfunkel went away for a long time.....BOC, Boston & Rush were trying to stomp the shit out of disco.... didn't happen. And unless you were asleep, most of the girls were wearing earth shoes and jeans with some kind of flare on 'em. The Walton's, Farrah, Janet Wood, Archie Bunker and the Cunninghams were like next door neighbors. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
worst show ever! But so bad it was almost good.
I turned 10 in 1979 also, but in many ways, the 70s shaped me. I was heavily into music as far back as I can remember. I was also surrounded by older kids with a broad taste of musical likes which gave me a huge foundation to build upon.
For me, the 70s were all about Star Wars, Disco, CHiPs, That's Incredible, The Fall Guy, etc...

I was like 8 years old back then, but that didn't matter, she became one of my first celebrity crushes just the same.Crystal Gayle was absolutely gorgeous, and was the one Country singer that made me think Country might be ok. She had less twang in her voice than most Country stars of the time.
Honestly, it would take me some time to connect back to the experiences of the 70's. I know I'm the sum total of all the events of my life, and I don't really spend much time reminiscing. I tend to focus on the present more, but occasionally a nice memory with intrude. That clip of Crystal Gayle sure brings back one nice memory.
You know, the intro was so bad, we need everyone here to see and hear it just once.
