As I hunker down for this polar vortex, nothing will be like the winters of the late 70's in the northeast, and I survived them.

The 70s were bad years, but it made the 80s look wonderful, in every way.

The 60s were bad years, too.

She passed away this year. This record in 1974 made her a star which lead eventually to her starring in Grease.

Sitting in line to get a few gallons of gasoline in freezing cold weather with the engine turned off because you might may make it to the pump. Now that’s fun! And no heating oil.

Jimmy Carter created an economy like Brandon’s.

Quaaludes no question

Best drug ever made

Don’t drink or drive on ditch biscuits

Perfect pharma for post menopausal gals to bring that itch back into their life

Disco did indeed suck but it’s where the girls were alas

Another high point was when straight legs eclipsed bell bottoms

Rock music peaked especially the first half

I loved the 70s

High school and college

Soul Train and all the artists and music thereon

Elton John/Bernie Taupin when they were great

All the top tennis players: Chris Evert, Billie Jean King, Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg, et al. I loved to watch tennis then.

The Olympics hosted by Jim McKay.

All the interesting and talented actors, directors and movies produced by Hollywood and the British film industry.

Beautiful high fashion by designers like Halston and Yves St. Laurent.

How well I remember more than one “coldest new years eve ever” on those years.

Great music & movies, but unfortunately we lost our moral compass then. Especially the early half of the decade.

The 70s had the worst clothing ever…..no natural fibers just man made.

We had a hard time finding 100% cotton sheets.
