In reply to stroker :

Close. Go back to the early 70s and halter tops. Trying to study outdoors in the quad, they nearly made me fail my exams!

I wasn't an oops yet, but the music was pretty good in the early 70s. Hendrix, Steppenwolf, and iron butterfly are in regular rotation at my house.

Music?  No...  High school?  No... Violent school mates?  No...  A steady decrease in performance and mileage in cars?  No...

 

Farrah Fawcett poster... Ok, that is something.

I attended Downers Grove South (Illinois) and was a sophomore in 1978.  We had a smoking area consisting of a lot of burnouts.  This bring backs a lot of wierd memories.

Guilt free Cocain?

 

Kidding of course, I was a bit young for that.  One thing I don't miss is the pop music of the 70's, it was horrific (rock was good of course)  and the main reason I didn't really listen to music until I was out of high school.

I was a little kid at the time, so while girls in hot pants and halter tops are great I don't have a perfect recollection.

I liked 70's Funk and some of the Disco.

The rest of the decade sucked for a young kid in Michigan. What I remember is oil crisis, inflation, drop in car sales, massive layoffs, recession, Japan bashing, school funding cuts. repeat.
