I was born in 64 and I can tell you that unless you actually grew up during those years, there is no way anyone could truly understand just how amazing they were. You would have to hear the difference in sound, from LP's vs. Eight track and even cassettes, to know the difference. Seeing Star Wars in the theater the day it came out, was...well, spectacular! There just was nothing like it in the whole world! And the freedom we had as kids is perhaps the saddest change to have ever occurred. I loved growing up during that time. It was life and it was fun!
Yes me and my sister 61and64 great times
Know just how you feel! Kids could be free to play, there was so much to learn and explore, and the world was saner. Not perfect, of course, but so much different.
I was born Dec 7 1964 I can relate
I'm with ya 👍
But We The People are here right now for a purpose 👍
We have seen some radical, completely insane changes and it just doesn't jive with what's going on out there. I knew good FBI agent's who would be so ashamed of what is happening. The shooting in the early eighties took place right outside my Dad's office building. I'm sure that there were Clown's in the FBI and the other letter agencies, but not like it is now 🧐
When We The People can't trust our so called leadership with 🤔😞
We The People better Wake Up and Defend Our Country 🙏
Until We The People demand TERM LIMITS NOW 👍, nothing will ever change. Too much temptation and they All end up taking the Blood Money 🤨
A good Swamp Draining might help usher in some more better times 👍
2 Chronicles 7:14 is a Promise 👍 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
I was born June 24, 1964. I wish life was still that easy going and children could be as free as we were. I had a set of clackers. I don't know how many times I hit myself with them. They taught me pain control and perseverance. I had a mood ring, blue corduroy platform tennis shoes, and yellow elephant pants. Those were the day. American Bandstand with Dick Clark and Soul Train.
I remember each Holiday season, looking forward to "The Charlie Brown Specials" "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" " The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" "Frosty the Snow Man". These were part of what made Christmastime so fun and special.

@@zim1966 yes!!!
Shit I'm 59 years old and I still watch Rudolph every year! And the Grinch!
Don't forget the Sears catalog
@@Pops-km8xt Yes. We all looked through the Sears Christmas catalog and knew exactly what we wanted. I never got what I always wanted but that's life.
Probably the last decade that a kid could truly be a kid without any parental supervision, your friends looked after you, and everybody knew where to meet, no time for cell phones because we didn't need them.
Yeah, because all those child abductions didn't really happen in the 70s. Data shows the decades before the 90s were actually more dangerous.🙄
Yea, I don’t know why the boomer/Gen X generation were such helicopter parents despite not growing up with it. In some states in US for example it’s illegal for a kid under 14 to be outside by themselves. The boomer/Gen X generation complains the younger generations are soft, despite them being the ones giving out the participation trophies and coddling their kids to the point they won’t go outside.
Nah, the 80s and early 90s were like that, too.
Cell phones hadn't been invented then; it wasn't like people made a principled decision to abstain from using them because we were morally tougher or something like that.
That being said, parents seemed to be a lot more relaxed in the 1970s. This was before the great Stranger Danger moral panic of the 1980s, which began the trend of progressively chipping away at childhood freedom. Greenstick fractures, sprained ankles, and stitches were just part of the territory of being a kid. The resigned comment, "Well, you can't wrap 'em up in cotton wool" was invoked whenever some such essentially-minor injury occurred.
Back when you " Called" on your friend by walking to their house and knocking on the door.
To me, the 70’s was a time when people interacted with each other. Every Sunday we would visit relatives, especially the elderly ones who didn’t get out much. If we weren’t visiting, we were having someone over for Sunday dinner. It’s very sad that the art of visiting has all but vanished in our society. Even phone calls have been replaced by impersonal text messages. In a time when communication is so easy, most of us have never felt so isolated.
Absolutely agree. Now that I am older and live in a senior apartment complex, the first complaint from others here is no one comes to visit. I am lucky that I never had kids, married and siblings so not much has changed from 1970s to 2022.
Yes even friends, we visited, no texting all day. Delia Morris
My parents and their friends got together often for dinner parties🙂
Amen to this... definitely the anti-shutdown society.
Social media has ruined us.
No, the 70's were not perfect, but I would still take that time over this in a heartbeat.
Right there with you. Gawd I miss those days.
Me too. I miss Kaboom cereal, Libby Land TV dinners and the Howard Johnson frozen chicken croquets. I miss Howard Johnson’s. I loved those chicken
croquets…you can’t get them anymore.
Same.
@Tiki Tavi You and me both!!! 👍
@@penelopelopez8296 LOL - Kaboom cereal!! So much sugar, so bad for you, yet incredibly good!!!
My black and yellow three speed banana seat bike, staying out till the street lights came on than running all the way home. No computers, cell phones just good fun.
OMG, I had a three speed banana seat bike and had to race home when the street lights came on also. Great times.
So much fun in the playground where everything was made of metal. Lol you’d burn your legs on the scorching hot sliding board reflecting that burning summer sun, then go sit on the burning hot metal swing seat and swing as high as you could then ride the “merry go round” where you stood and held on to the bar that came up from the floor while soneone pushed you fast around and around (holding onto those hot handles) ... LOL when I think of playgrounds then ... being outside... nothing padded .. nothing plastic ... ...just fun
Where I live there were no streetlights but once it starts getting dark you better get your butt home
@@debbiemullen2574 i hope you made it home in time..lol I often wish we could turn back the hands of time and go back but we can't let's be grateful for the time we had.
I had a one speed purple banana bike. Wore it out.
The annual Sears Christmas Catalog was always a world-stopping event when it was delivered. My brother, both sisters, and myself had almost every page earmarked with circles around items we hoped would end up under the tree.
Yes! I loved looking through that thing. It was oddly magical.. to see so many new toys and things I had to have that I didn't even know existed lol..
I had one of the last issues of the catalog but moving several times it was either thrown away or lost. I enjoyed looking through them
Books of blue chip stamps
Me and my sister did this too…
Yep... straight to the bra section. Or was that JC Penney?
My soul craves the 70, it’s like if I could I would relive the 60s 70s over and over.
The Bicentennial was HUGE. That definitely needed a mention.
Definitely.
And the 1976 Olympics.
And the freedom train.
@steven milstead No, I remember Bruce Jenner, back before he lost his f'ing mind.
@steven milstead He's not, he's a guy who got his dingus cut off. If a soldier has his dingus blown off, is he any less a man?
I could be out on my own during summer, wandering hills, going miles to town, swimming in the surf, gone for 12 hours with no contact with my mother who had no idea where I was or what I was doing, and there was no cause for concern; that was just normal childhood then.
But you had to get back when the street lights came on
Y’all had street lights? Dang, y’all were fancy. Out here in the country, we came home when we couldn’t see Jack shit.
@@abolishwelfare
Who was Jack Shit, and why did you want to see him? Was he handsome?
Life was great up until cellphones came and ruined it all.
@@mikeh1473 WTF are you trying to say by "weren't diverse"? Just thought you'd sneak that one in dog whistle style eh?
Born in 68 I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Those were the best years of my life. If I could, I would go back to those days in a heartbeat.
68 as well for me also, I was born whan my dad was in Vietnam. All of us were truly lucky to be young in this era the 70's and 80's! Sucks getting older but I wouldn't trade places with any young person! Today's society is so upsidedown, today's youth are being cheated big time!! Where does the time go.........Peace.
Also born in 68...
Same here!
@@tommcdonough6086 Same here. Born in 67 and my Dad was in Vietnam when I was born too. 😊
Wouldn’t not have wanted to be a kid in any other decade.Would have hated being a 90’s kid.also born in 68
Makes me sad that so much has changed. I’m blessed to have these memories
I need a time machine, I want to go back 😊
Yes! Take me with you!
I’m on the constant lookout!
Yeah. All of the schools i had gone to either got knocked down amd rebuilt in a hi-tech fasion, or got a futuristic upgrade, so none looked as i remembered, only the names and locations.
WAAAAY AHEAD OF YA'....dang, can you believe we are now considered OLD MIDDLE AGE....I'm LIKE HOLD THE HELL UP.....NOT THAT...!!!!!
I’m working on that.
Born in ‘62, so I spent nearly all my primary school career in the 70’s. It was a great, relatively safe decade for kids. In the Summer breaks, we’d stay out all day in the neighborhood, without modern communication, and only came home for meals. If our parents needed us home, somehow, they’d know where we were - there was a covert network of stay-at-home moms who would monitor us discretely and communicate with all the other moms they knew in the community. It’s a tragedy that this has been largely lost.
"There was a covert network of stay-at-home moms who would monitor us discretely and communicate with all the other moms they knew in the community...." And our mums did this feat without cellphones or video cameras! 👍😊👍
I was expected to call if I would NOT be coming home for dinner but eating at a friends house and then hanging out. Then it was reversed and the friend would eat at our house and hang out. Probably listening to records and/or playing board games or, ahem.........playing OUTSIDE.
Same here Keith. Born in '63. We'd camp out in each other's yards on summer nights. Sit on the floor talking on the only phone in the house, quietly to not be overheard! I'd give anything to go back to those times. We made our own fun. Now look what the hell happened. 50 years later, and I realize I don't belong here anymore. My mind looks to the past, never to the future because things get worse with each passing day. But, they can never take the past away from us and we won the growing up lottery by being able to be a kid in the 70's and enter into adulthood in the 80's. I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Born in 62.. Me too, and the 70's died with us, as we turned 18 in 1980...
You have to have kids to make that happen. The divorce rate is over 80% initiated by women. The marriage rate is at a all time low ! Men understand it’s a raw deal nowadays.
The 70s were just.... special. The difference between the 70s and the 80s is like day and night, and no decade after the 70s holds the same nostalgia for me. I don't want to re-live this time, because every era has its problems, but this is the only time where I truly would not mind observing from a time machine :)
1976 was the Country's 200th Birthday. What a party!!!
I was born in 1957 so the 60s late 60s and 70s definitely were my time. And I loved it and I miss it. Just wish I was smarter if I ever had to go back but at least I’m still alive. These days if I did the same things there’s no way I would still be around. Thank God for the 60s and 70s.
I was in elementary in those days, Saturday morning cartoons, play outside, fun toys, we didn’t wear protective gear, trick or treating with only 1 parent watching like 10 kids, how I miss those days..❤️
We went by ourselves..and we were safe
The Monkees.
Nobody ever mentions The Midnight Special television show featuring Wolfman Jack and iconic performances by classic musicians and comedians. I was under five but I loved music so much that my mom and dad let me stay up and watch it every Friday night! One of the greatest performance shows on television.
saw Kiss, aerosmith and other cool bands on Midnight special I remember seeing the sex pistols on there too, Don Kirshners in concert also
I remember watching that show now that you mention it. I wasn't very old either but I remember liking Wolfman Jack.
I just heard a song with him in the background.
Anyone remember Dr Dimento on the radio?
That was the first place I ever saw Fleetwood mac, David Bowie, basically all of the greats started on midnight special, loved Friday night, us kids would stay up late and watch it with mom,mom loved the show she was a true rocker, we even played queens ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST at her funeral, been thinking about her a lot today and this took me back to good times thank you for the memory
This makes me happy and sad at the same time. Life should be simple and kids should be free and innocent of the troubles of the day. It's tragic that life will never be like that again.
Kids today will have the same bittersweet memories about their lives now. They will look back fondly about today like u do about the 70s.
@@bryanj7063 Yeah. I'm sure in 20-30 years they'll fondly look back on having politics, a million false gender options and everyones sexual preferences forced into every possible thing in their lives. Memories.
@@festushaggen2563 And the biggest decision they will ever have to make, ‘What are their Pronouns’. 🤮
Unless you were not white, it was a good time. My best friends were Black or Hispanic. I notice a lot of these stories have few of the real people.
@@bryanj7063 Doubtful. They better start learning how to speak Chinese if they get off their cell phones long enough...and twitter.
Greatest era of my life (at least so far)! I was 10 in 1970 and 19 in 1979.. would LOVE to go back and re-visit each and every day of that entire decade!
Me too
Yep
Same here. Born in '60.
Same, 1960, sometimes bothers me time is almost up.
I was born in '60 too.... we were the last generation to live like true kids! Sometime in the 80's something happened, things changed and life was
never the same again. It seemed like society became so materialistic... it was all about what you had, to flaunt the newest and best. Gone
are the days of $1.99 keds sneakers and blue jean cutoffs for the summer. We didn't care about material things as much, we were much more into creating
fun with our imagination and with our friends. We could spend days with nothing more than a cardboard box that the new refrigerator came in, or making
a go-kart out of a discarded baby carriage :) A neighborhood monopoly game could go on for two days, and 'kite season' was a 10 cent purchase that
would keep you entertained for a week or more! Remember those days?
Lots of great memories from the 70’s. Osmonds, Jackson 5, Neil Diamond, Carpenters, Jim Croce, John Denver, Olivia Newton-John, David Cassidy, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Donny and Marie Show, Paul McCartney and Wings, Elton John, Three Dog Night, Abba, the list goes on. Also cassette tapes and transistor radios, American Top 40 with Casey Kasem, Love Story (cried my eyes out), Billy Jack, Carrie (kept me from ever watching a horror movie again!)! Saturday morning cartoons, Dark Shadows. With only 3 networks to watch on TV, some of the best shows were from the 70’s. Too many to list but I bet we can all sing their theme songs! Let’s not forget double knit pants suits and leisure suits. They could last forever! And sadly, remembering where we were when we heard Elvis Presley had passed away.
My sister and I loved Dark Shadow's! Barnabas Collins! 😂
Don't forget Saturday night at 9PM was The Love Boat, followed by Fantasy island at 10PM.
La musique était incroyable. Je me souviens qu'à chaque semaine il y avait une publication du classement des groupes et chansons. Une feuille que nous retrouvions chez le disquaire. Que la musique était bonne.
@@stephendacey8761 Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 21st Century, Six Million Dollar Man, The Incredible Hulk, Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, and Charlie's Angels... not in that order.
YES!
To be a kid in the 70's was awesome. My God, it was wonderful.
Hear Hear! :)
I was a little kid in the late 70s ,my fondest memories were during that time.
I agree completely. Having the internet now has its “upside”, but life in general was better without it.
😎👍 EXACTLY 😀👍
Yes, the best!
The Wonderful World of Disney, Jacques Cousteau, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, ABC's Wide World of Sports (the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat), 70s game shows, and 70s TV shows -- too many to mention. 70s TV was THE BEST!
Do you remember Challenge of the Sexes on ABC World of Sports?:D
@@tonytygrrHI yes
WCW RASTLIN on saturdays along with the American Bandstand and Soul Train and of course The Osmond Family and can't forget the Jackson Five show as well and later on Wide World of Sports and all of this made for a real good saturday day of memories !!! Oh yeah and the cartoons before all this classic programming was on saturday mornings !!!
Carol Burnett and Hee-Haw. Disney's Sunday Night Movie. The Sonny and Cher show. LOL
I remember it well!
I remember watching Heehaw, Sonny and Cher, playing with Lincoln logs, the game spinning tops, and the creepy crawler molds, and the tootsie roll molds.Many other things but these stood out to me...
When Lincoln Logs were real wood.
And don't forget the barrell of monkeys... Fun game😊
Yep, and all of us can still sing the preamble that we learned through watching School House Rock to this day. 🎶 We the people, in order to form a more perfect union…🎶 Come on, sing along!
"establish justice ensure domestic tranquilityyyyyy! "
@@Yesica1993 you got it! Yay!!!
Conjunction Junction was a good one.
If I could relive the 70's I would do it in a heartbeat, I truly miss those days.
Everything but the bell bottoms and disco?
@@LadyGreenEyes964 I'll take bell bottoms and disco over saggy pants and rap any day.
Oh how I miss that decade. I remember nearly everything. In the same way that trauma leaves you remembering everything, well so does absolute bliss
I remember looking forward to back to school shopping every year. My mom couldn’t afford too much but I always got about 3 new outfits, school supplies and most importantly, a new lunchbox. Good times.
"Barbie" lunchbox?
And wondering if you would have any "cute boys" in your class.
Loved the 70s ! Saturday mornings were cartoons til noon , playing outside til your parents stood on the front porch and hollered for you to come home for supper. Saturday nights were watching the Love Boat and Fantasy Island. During the week before school was Captain Kangaroo. Sundays were watching NFL football and of course Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football. Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdown on the weekends and all the great music of the 70's.
Oh yea, waking up at 6:30 a.m. and watching the bars until bug bunny or whatever came on at 7, haha.
@@Stephen-ob3ij that tone at night though. Ugh.
❤
You are so on point. Can I add TV shows like Zoom, The Magic Garden, Sesame Street, Joya's Fun School, Bozo the Clown. THANKS for sharing great memories of the 70's.
Awesomeness! I remember Mr. Rourke on Fantasy Island “Da plane! Da plane!” Captain Kangaroo was another one I remember that brought back some memories,also. I remember one episode on Capt. Kangaroo , that warned kids about getting in cars with strangers and being kidnapped. I don’t know if you might have remembered this, I grew up in Cali; on late Saturday afternoons we had Channel 2 (“There’s only one,Two”) and they played Chiller Diller theater. Also, on the weekend, out in California, we had Bob Wilkins hosting Creature Feature Theater.
I remember every one of these things. The 70's and 80's were the decades of my youth and young adulthood. It's mind boggling how different times are today.
I was born in 1966...so my earliest memories were the incredible 1970's. Man...there were SO many great rock and roll bands throughout that decade. I feel truly blessed to have been exposed to such significant music while growing up...
The part I really remember from the 70s was that on Saturday morning you would purposely get up early, pour yourself a bowl of heavily coated sugar cereal, and sit in front of the TV for at least 2 hours watching the cartoon lineup they had. It was a truly magical time to be a kid.
And don't forget the Friday before the new cartoon season started, most of the networks would have a 30 preview of the upcoming line up.
Always up before the parents who would then always ask the rhetorical question about why you can get up early on Saturday for cartoons no problem but can't get up during the week for school!
Yup, that was me, and then watched sports afterwords. Going outside would follow.
I truly cried watching this. I am so greatfull to have been brought up in the 70s. There will never be a time like this again. People were different and kind. Nothing like today! I remember dancing the hustle with my sister and all the posters on the wall! Also, the drivein theaters!! I have so many memories of the 70s. Oh and I Will never forget my Holly Hobbie! Young people today think they got it good. The technology today cannot compare to the fun we had growing up in the 70s. It was magical!
Mom would always save her tips to buy school clothes/supplies and gifts for birthdays and Christmas. But when a new Disney came out ( when Disney was actually worth something) she would take us to the drive in to see it. She would get a big paper sack and pop enough popcorn to fill it almost half full. Before the movie started there were swings, teeter toters and merry go round up by the screen where we would play. Then the lights would go out as the signal to go back to the car and watch the 2 cartoons that were shown before the movie started.
It was a set price per car no matter how many in the car. Now they charge per person. Remember every Friday night at 11PM the TV stations would show a scary movie?
We were lucky definitely.
It was a magical time to be growing up in the 70's! I loved everything of this decade.
I remember my Holly hobbie! I also had a Mrs Beasley doll which I loved to death! I've been missing the 70s a lot here lately. Everything is just crap nowadays. It's so depressing.
Yes I remember Al of that too
This took me back to my childhood...ABBA, Asteroids, Saturday Night Fever, Fat Albert, KISS...such a great, innocent time to be alive. Life will never be the same. Thank you for the memories.
Let's don't forget Led Zeppelin.
@@jimmyarmijo792 Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Black Sabbath, Oh and Iron Butterfly (Ina-goda-da-vida) I had over 300 albums of top hard rock bands.
@@jmead2294 Any Grand Funk Railroad!?!
Oh yes, I had the first Grand Funk album (Red cover) then I had “Closer to Home”, “ Grand Funk Live”, and “E-Pluribus Funk”.
Saturday morning cartoons marvel pj's and big bowl of sweet cereal ... absolute bliss
Born in 67. I had my childhood in the 70s. I remember everything he talked about her. And more! It was a great time to be a kid.
Best cars, best music, best times. I loved being a teenager in the 70s!!
Also some of the absolute worse cars ever made! Especially mid-late 70's!
Me too. Would love to go back!!!
@@dannyjacobs6734 Right?! AMC Pacer comes to mind. Pinto's and Gremlins oh my. lol

All us neighborhood kids always loved when we heard the music from the ice cream truck, had to hurry and run to get money from your mom before it passed. I loved the Superstar and Snocones, push-ups were always good too. There was no better time to be a kid 🙏❤️
And you scouted for empty bottles to return for the deposit money, to buy ice cream on your own :)
@@peggyl2849 And tried collecting aluminum cans to be recycled just to have spending money.
Like in Chicago in the 60's the Good Humor truck.
Minnesota ice cream trucks were fast
@@dst1311 I remember the first ice cream "truck" was just a big aluminum cooler on the back of a bicycle. Iowa here.
I now live in the Philippines, where so much of this still exists! Kids still play jump rope, hopscotch, fly kites, play badminton in the street, because they can, a great place to raise a kid! They get to interact, without their noses in devices!
Oh how I miss the simple days in the 70's. I'm glad I was old enough to experience all of these things.
When the pet rock came out my siblings and I wanted one so bad but we were dirt poor sooo... we went out to the creek and picked out our very own 'special' pet rock. We might have been kids but we weren't dummies!
I feel like I was born at an awesome point in history. I was born in 1957, which means I was a kid in the 60s, a teen in the 70s, a young woman in the 80s and a mom in the 90s. I love all those eras.
Me too!!!!!! I was born in Dec 57. Huge crush on David Cassidy. Had to find all the outfits at Casual Corner that Charlie's Angels wore. LoL.......
My store was Judy’s
1957 ROCKS!
@@kat35lulu88 loved Casual corner!
Me born 1959 . So the 70s and late 60s was a blast!!
I remember the Beads Decor for doorways in the 70's & also the fun after-school cartoons we would watch! great memories.
I'm not sure...
But maybe they were called "HIPPY-BEADS". ???
Love this! I turned 3 years old in 1970, and I remember all this time era nostalgia. Still have my Metal lunchboxes from kindergarten to 5th grades. Loved riding in the back of the station wagon where you could make the last bench face backwards while listening to the Partridge Family and Osmond 8 tracks...while eating a chocolate snack pack that came in a can that had the pull off top!
I was born in 1969. The 70's were an awesome time to be a kid. I'm glad you mentioned Schoolhouse Rock. I can still recite the preamble to the Constitution thanks to the cartoon. Wore tube socks, saw Star Wars, had a metal lunchbox, our TV was a console, parents had an 8 track in the car, remember disco and Kiss. Watched Mash and Happy Days. This video is my childhood. 👍
I was born in 69 too. You can get the same tube socks on amazon.
Best decade of my life. Puberty, driver's license, high school sweetheart, college. Parents, siblings, grandmothers all alive and well. The future ain't what it used to be.
Nor is nostalgia.
Great, but not so great for me, I was younger. I had rules, parents, teachers, homework, bedtimes, chores, parents divorce, moving every year, not getting along with other kids. It may seem nice in hindsight, but remembering my head space I was in then, it wasn't that great. But that's just me.
Still better than anything in the 21st century though.
I was just highlighting that sometimes feelings of nostalgia can cloud the actual memories of the frame of mind you were in back then, having no knowledge of future events.
Same here!
Wes, Thank you , your comment , a family picnic at the Russian River in California, just hit me , the smell, the heat, the laughter, yes those were the best days, As a teenager the Kegs ...😁
Me too! Add drunk-tank from being completely wasted at the grade 10 school dance!🥃🥃🥃🥃👮🏼♂️👮🏼♂️🚔
My brother bootlegged some 5-Star whiskey for me…he was Aux RCMP at the time!🤣
Best decade ever! Thank you for bringing me back!!!
I miss those days, and the kids now have no idea how much fun they are missing out on.
The government has more control over you than ever, today.
C'est triste pour eux. Ils n'auront pas d'aussi beaux souvenirs que nous. Il y avait tellement de choses à faire et beaucoup de divertissement. Nous avions également beaucoup d'imagination et elle était encouragé par notre environnement.
one of the best decades of my life. even though we had the most basic technology back there was always something to do . everyone in our neighborhood knew each other and socialized. time seemed endless. our summer holidays seemed to go on forever miss those days
Lawrence Welk on Sunday nights. Soul Train. Scooby-Doo. HR Puf-n-Stuf.
We were ALWAYS playing outside...I was playing in the mud one day, it was fun 😊
👍👍👍
I was born in 1959 and remember all of this - especially the tube socks, the movies Jaws and Star Wars when they came out, the bellbottom jeans and dances. It was fun. The music was great with the discos. Teens were out with friends more in those days.
Hello Dianna I see happiness all around you, please can I share from it??
I can remember the 70s well! I have so many fond memories. My senior year was 79, it was a wonderful time for me.
Im 61 and still watch them also. it what keeps us young. Much love to my generation.
The sweet wonderful days of my innocence. I miss so very much. This touched me in a way I cannot describe. Made me cry with a soulful , heartfelt smile on my old face.
I'm with ya🥲
Ditto! you took words out of my mouth. Sooo glad this was shared to me!💞wonderful memories
It really was such a great time. Hang out with your friends knowing you were fine no matter what. No fear. I miss that time so much.
Still a special place in my heart for the 1970s. It was the first decade where I was alive and aware for the whole decade. This was the decade that gave us Star Wars, disco, the slam-dunk in basketball, Monday Night Football and many others. Some of the stars of the time like John Travolta, Jamie Lee Curtis, Henry Winkler and Jimmy Walker are still around and doing stuff.
Don't forget Carroll O'Connor and Charlton Heston.
Loved that time period!
I tell my kids you guys have no idea how great it was growing up during that time
There should be a 70s convention. It would be like a reunion for all of us!!!
My wife and I never got to see the Bee Gees. But we did get to see Barry Gibb and family at the Hollywood Bowl.
There was a bus from our town that took you there, these buses exist to reduce traffic. On that bus was the reunion you're talking about. I was like, holy shit, everyone on this bus is roughly the same age.
Even better? This was an end of Barry's tour and he hasn't really toured much since. If I took a peanut and threw it gently over my shoulder -- it would have hit Olivia Newton John. I'm serious. Because of some last minute cancellation miracle I had better seats than her. And if I stood up, turned, and threw a peanut fairly hard -- it would have hit Barry Manilow. I'm not making any of this up.
@@screenplayhouse4932 That's a great story! Must've been SURREAL! I wish I was there!
@@raydelrosario2366 Super Crazy Surreal. My wife and I are moving an hour out of town and this will be our 'When we were in LA' story.
Since you liked it, a bonus detail. (Oh, shoot, I already forgot it. Umm.) (Oh yeah!) So, remember, I'm like dead center about 6 rows back. You need to know the Hollywood Bowl is like a picnic affair, where if you get there early you eat in the lovely LA summer eve as the sun starts to set.
I was done eating, got up to stretch my legs, and saw a skinny LA aspiring actress type. She had a perfect figure but weighed nothing. She's eating some serious steak, Mac and Cheese, and has a beer in tow.
I thought something but had no one to say it too. I approached a rock and roll lady in her 60's and said, "I just witnessed something that doesn't happy. See that girl over there? Look at what she's eating and look at her weight. I thought all 'those' girls out here ate nothing but salad."
This 60 year old 'groovy' looking women smiled and said, "Being that thin can make you really hungry sometimes." But she said it with this funny look, as if to say, "Are you flirting with me or just shooting the shinola?" She was... smirking.
A day later I learned why she was smirking. I had been talking to Barry Gibb's wife... but didn't know it.
@@screenplayhouse4932 one of those days huh...lol.
That would be sooooo cool.........
The 60’s and 70’s were great times for childhood. So many memories, and we were blessed to be growing up during that time.
Agreed
The 80's, at least the early 80's, were pretty good too. Things really started to go off the rails in the 90's and 2000 and beyond has been a sheet show.
yes The Golden ages,The 1960's my childhood the 1970's my teen years.Would not have it any other way.Thanks Dad and Mom in heaven.
@@gabrielpowers766 Have you ever thought that the times we lived in back then have prepared us for now? Something to think about in so many ways.....like are we the last generation who really knows right from wrong?
@@gabrielpowers766 100% true, that's what i think exactly.
I was born in 1951 and in 1973 I emigrated to Canada from Ireland. I truly thought I had gone to heaven. It was so different to Ireland we were 100 years behind North America. Canada was so clean and people were so nice and friendly to each other. The neighbourhoods were pristine with manicured lawns and well-cared-for homes, people were proud of their country. You could walk around anywhere without any fear of being accosted or even a word said to you. It was just a beautiful place to be. All the shows I remember especially "The Price is Right" and "Johnny Carson" they were so slick and professional. I would give anything to go back there. Today Canada is so different so much so I returned to Ireland only to find Ireland is as bad in so many ways. The world is on a downward spiral because of greed and corruption and I'll be getting off.
There is still good in the world and I pray some of it has reached you. Don’t give up on us just yet.
Best years of my life.
We bought a record player in 1975 that looked futuristic. It was called the Sanyo Phonosphere. It was perfectly round, about the size of a basketball. It had a clear circular lid that you opened to reveal the record player, and it had an adapter that looked like a mirrored disco ball, and a light would shine on it while it revolved while playing a record, casting light everywhere just like a disco ball. Wild!
Beautiful memories ! Big shout out to the 70’s kids ! ✌️ I still cherish those simpler times.
Proud to be a 70's kid✌🏾✊🏾
@@elwin38 me too!
Me too!
They were fun!
Best days of my life❤️❤️
Ah the outfits. Remember them all. The macrame plant holders, the plaid skirts, the tube socks, the gym shorts, The Dorothy Hammill haircut fad, the Captain & Tenille show. The Sonny & Cher variety hour, the Smothers Brothers, Every weekend we gathered in the livingroom to watch The Love Boat & Fantasy Island. Laugh-In, and went to Gramma's to watch her color tv when the Wizard of Oz was on at Easter(so we could gasp at the ruby slippers in color). Every girl in the 7th grade had Lip Potion flavored lip gloss, their moms had Avon samples, everyone's hair was bleached & shiny from swimming all day & night in the summer...what a time to be growing up with the best memories of a simpler, slower and definitely more wholesome time .
When you are growing up you want time to go fast but now I realize how much I loved it... I'd give anything to go back 💕🙏💗
Besides the fashion, the 70s were an awesome time to grow up
🌟SO TRUE🌟 !!!
I still remember taking the constitution test in 8th grade...and singing the preamble as I filled it out in the test....a great testament to school house rock . 🎶
🤣I remember singing the preamble to the school house rock tune for that same test in 8th grade. Loved school house rock.
Didn't sing the pream le for a test but instead mine was Conjunction Junction for a 7th grade English test. I remember our teacher telling us to turn our papers over and begin the test and the entire class started singing this song. All our teacher could do was laugh and say that she knew what we all did on Saturday morning g and that she expected all of us to pass with no trouble..
OMG!! I did the same thing!! It sure helped me out with that test!!
Conjunction,junction,what's your function? Hooking up words,and phrases,and clauses...🎶😅
@@maryannturton9830 Thanks a lot!! Now I'll be humming that little ditty all danged day!! 😜
What a great time to be a kid...my friends and I played outside the whole weekend and after school. There were so many songs, games and activities we enjoyed and looking back on that time I would love to be able to relive that whole decade!
Me too !!! Best of times !!!
Why do people think that playing outside every waking moment makes them special or something? I have heard it so many times and I don't get it. Playing outside was fun but playing inside was fun too, reading, listening to music, playing games etc.
@@su-rv2uq Because it was real. The bruises, scraps and blood were hard earned. The adjusting to changing weather was real. The smells, the noise, the sheer scale of experience could never be matched sitting inside. We didn't have safe spaces we ran. We didn't have reality shows we chased firetrucks instead.
And we didn't know what we had when we had it. Lets be grateful for the time we did have!
@@su-rv2uq At my house, if you stuck around the house any longer than an hour after breakfast, you were either chased outside or put to work. The same was true for my friends as well. The house was all of our mother's domain. Mom or Dad always had a "special" job that needed to be done so, reading, listening to music or watching TV was just not done during the day. Unless it was raining, you were outdoors burning off energy and getting plenty of fresh air. It was great growing up during the 70s and 80s.
I was a child during the 1970's. I love the nostalgia.
Ah, yes! Macramé! My mom was crazy after making that and crocheting afghans! I still hold my mom’s afghans to remember her and when we were happy in the ‘70s.
I kinda became emotional watching this because it reminded me of when I was a kid and when all my family was still living. But my time was the late 60’s to the early 70’s.
Recollection Road nailed it with this installment. At the part about the lunch boxes, I still remember the smell of bologna sandwich when my lunch box was opened.🥪
When your 10 gallon hat was feeling 5 gallons flat, didn’t you hanker for a hunk of cheese?
I will never forget that nauseating feeling I got when I had dropped my lunch box and heard the broken glass in the Thermos ☹🤢
I had a Hot Wheels lunchbox. And, oh yeah!, ditto on dropping the lunchbox
omg!! I smelled the same bologna when they showed those lunch boxes! Amazing memory trigger...
Yep, even if mom packed you peanut butter and jelly sammy, you could still smell the bologna from days ago.
Born in 1960. I remember all these things. I saw Star Wars at the local theater 16 times, I couldn't get enough of it, it was amazing to me. SNL just wasn't the same after the original cast left. It really was a simpler, fun time for kids. Today, the internet and instant access to bad news has ruined that for many of the young growing up now. I truly believe that sometimes, simpler really is better.
January 1960 here!
I remember the music as my favourite thing from that era. SO many wonderful bands and we all had fun going to each other's houses with an armful of our favourite records and playing them while oohing and ahhhing over the musicians! Oh what I wouldn't give to go back in time and listen to the glorious voice of the luscious Robin Gibb live... 🥰
I can still hear Mr. Softee's music playing a couple of blocks away. We scrambled into our houses digging in couch cushions, moms purses in the closet just to get 30 or 40 cents
I did the same. I can still hear the generator running on the decorated truck waiting for my turn to get some ice cream. Those days were another world back then.
Visited my neices once, heard ice cream man, instinctively knocked them down and took off running up the road in my sock feet.
You really took me back with Mentioning Mr,Softee. That was the best part of a hot day on my block in Queens N.Y. And who could forget that music!
spent my paper route money on Mister Softee.
I was five years old at the start of the 70's and 15 when they ended. I will cherish my memories of the 70's for the rest of my life and would go back there today, if I could. I grew up in a small town in Canada and could spend all day during the summer outside with my friends with no problems, home in time for supper, then back out 'till well after dark, all without my parents freaking out over my whereabouts or panicking over my safety. Times have changed, but not always for the better.
I was a very young lad in 1975, only Grade 1. But I distinctly remember hearing "The Hustle" for the first time, in school. Was first thing in the morning, right as assembly started (the lights still down low) and it played over the PA system. As soon as the first few notes hit, everyone... including teachers, were bobbing their heads - silently - in unison. It was a cool moment.
My school played music on the PA system too. I would always listen when I was in the hallway. My teacher played " You Light Up My Life " on the piano and we sang along
I was in first grade in 1975 too. I recall learning to do the hustle in music class in third grade.
Growing up in the early 2000s felt like the 70s to me because my family restored old cars, and drove them frequently (still do). My mum had a 71 SS Chevelle with an 8 track, we watched old movies and spun records. I grew up with the Atari before I got my GameCube. I still hold onto the old stuff as much as I can. I drive a 72 Ventura with an 8 track I installed and maintain, I love old shows and movies, and I collect vintage toys. I just wish I was there to have experienced everything in person instead of replicate it.
❤❤❤
These videos remembering the 70s brings tears to my eyes every time I watch them. Im 60 years old and i don't want ro be young again, but i sure wouldn't mind going back to the 70s.
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for the memories. This was the best time of my life because all of my family members were alive and well and I had no bills to pay.
I know how you feel. My entire family was alive in the seventies. Now, all of them have now passed away. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I grew up in the 70's. And that was the best times ever. I wish things would go back to what they were in the 70's.
I especially liked mini-skirts and hot-pants! Who could forget the tank-tops!
The girls made it damn near impossible for a boy to focus on schoolwork!😍😂
@@57Jimmy And remember the girls' tie-behind-the-neck halter tops??
I left my heart in San Francisco: I'm more of a sixties kid!✌️
Not going to argue with a clueless idiot. Have a good one.
@@lisamckennon3025 This s beautiful how're you
String Art!!! I also remember Funny Face powdered drink mix from Pilsbury. Ker-Plunk, Yahtzee, Mouse Trap and we played Milles Bornes non-stop on camping trips in the camper on days when it rained. Also remember being taught how to make these cool lanyard or gimp keychains at the park in the summer. Bomb Pops from the ice cream truck and also the banana and fudge ones and of course the Strawberry Shortcake Good Humor bars. Stretch Armstrong, Stretch Monster. The most incredible puzzles from Springbok.
Who remembers going to a party and getting excited to have the special punch drink? It consisted of punch (fruit flavored drink for you gen Z), 7up and sherbet floating on top and melting into the sugary concoction.
It was served into a punch bowl. If it was a really special occasion you would use the special glass cups that came with the punch bowl.
I am almost certain my teenage daughter has never seen or knows what a punch bowl is.
Being born in '68, I was a little kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s. I am so thankful that I was born when I was. The 70s was such a fun decade for kids.
Coming home from school, eatin cereal and watching Speed Racer. Charlie's Angels on Thursday nights. Dad bought me my first Kiss album. Hot Wheels at Toys R Us. Tastee Freez served in baseball cap bowls.
I feel bad for kids today. They have no idea what it's like to really be a kid.
I was born in 69 so I know what you mean. What a time to be alive.
AGREED! Born in 70 and heck it was amazing.
agree 100 percent!
Born in 70. Saw Star Wars in the theater at age 7... the perfect age!
@@greedo2660 same here, my parents took me to see Star wars at the drive inn movie theater remember those ? They also took me to see close encounters later that year. I was 4 and still remember the latter part of the 70s.
I'm 53 yrs old, born in 1969, but I have a good memory of the 70s...especially 1975 thru 1979.
I specifically remember riding around with my dad & listening to 8-track tapes on his 8-track player in his truck, getting to see Star Wars, Jaws, Saturday Night Fever, Smoky & The Bandit, King Kong, & getting to watch all the Saturday morning cartoons, The Shazam/Isis Hour, The Land Of The Lost, Ark 2, BigFoot & Wildboy, The Incredible Hulk, Logan's Run, CHIPS, The 6 Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, & B.J. & The Bear.
Great times & Great memories!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama.
Omg, King Kong, who could forget that one! And Body Snatchers scared the crap out of me. Can't hear a garbage truck without being taken back. Back when theaters showed only 1 movie, and if it was making money, they held it over another week. Saw Stars Wars 12 times. Never got old. Will never like anything more than those first 3. 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade. Still get the same chills when the first 3 notes start on the big screen. Those movies blew our socks off. And yep, Jaws freaked us all out too!
Same year 1969, age 53. Same everything, only from the Panhandle/South Plains of West Texas.
1967. I remember pulling my feet up into the seat, during 'Jaws'.
Blount county, Alabama.
Born in 71. My favorite show of the 70’s was Battlestar Galactica. I also had a Space 1999 lunch pal in 76 in kindergarten. The 80 were more my time, but the late 70’s were pretty awesome too.
@@ml5955 Battlestar Galactica and Space 1999 were great!! Lorne Greene talking about Earth!!!
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I feel deep pity for kids nowadays, especially the boys. Those were golden, halcion days that I so wish today's kids could experience.
I was three years old on Tuesday, August 16, 1977 and in the car with my mom, my aunt, and two of my cousins when the music on the radio was interrupted by the newscaster, letting us know that Elvis Presley had died. I will never forget that.
I really feel sorry for the young kids growing up today. 😑
Me too.....☹️. Now parents have to fight so children can BE children!
So do I! These times are so depressing! Children don’t even play outside anymore! How do they make friends?!
Wearing a mask when they should be learning to decipher facial expressions, can't have been good.
I do Too, Especially regarding music. Todays musicians cannot play an instrument, relying on prerecorded sounds, The lyrics are 99% rhyming . NO talent and the product, reflects its lack of anything interesting. boom boom boom boom, red..fred..lead..head..said.. I am well on my way to making a HIT !
Right 👍 kids these days don't know how much fun it was watching cartoons on Saturday morning + Schoolhouse Rock sitting in front of the TV eating a bowl of cereal 🥣
I was born in 1970 and watching this made me cry! I miss being a carefree kid!!
Makes two of us born in 68 my sister in 70, If you think about it just seems like the other day! Where does the time go......... don't cry we all miss those days I get sentimental sometimes myself our generation was truly lucky to be young in this era, imagine being young modern day no thank you! Peace to you...
Me too July 21st
Me too. May 11.
Me too May 30th
Evel Knievel was an icon in the '70s and I had an Evel Knievel action figure that came with a motorcycle and a ramp. Loved that toy. I watched a lot of TV back then and my favorite show was The Six Million Dollar Man, also liked the original Gong Show.
Damn I was doing all that to . . . I read your comment and thought this is my life he's talking about . . hahaha 😂 . . . It was wonderful back then . . . I hate this new millennium sh-t .
The 70's were my favorite decade, I spent my Twenties there.
LOL Lived with it all, wore it, bought it, read it, watched it, learned it, had it, was given it, danced it, etc, OH MY, What memories!!!! Even the tvs, carpet, funiture, lights. Thank you for this video!!! :)
ate it, too LOL LOL LOL LOL
Yes it is awesome! I can't wait to show my daughter
Use to buy those wooden planes from the stores, put them together and throw them and they would fly. Put your kites together, big or small and those things would go high in the air. So many memories.
Remember the Cox airplanes?
Yes! theplanes were cool & remember getting those "Vampire" kites from the supermarket where you stuck the eyes on--they didn't last long, but they definitely flew really high! so much fun
I had forgotten about those wooden planes. Yes, the paper and plastic kites.
@@mcc28joe yeah, those were Gayla Kites, very popular in the 70's, Ebay has a few of them on there, was looking recently , the memories!
@@geraldboykin6159 yup, good times, had 2 of them , PT-19, and a X-Wing fighter StarWars, control line .049 Engine planes, in 1979,
Born in ‘71…and this video brought back so many memories! I had a tin lunch box, but mine had the Dukes of Hazzard on it. I remember being a latch key kid, TV dinners, the folding lap tray for them, our first color tv, my bike with the ape hangars and banana seat, no internet, running to answer the phone, drinking from the hose ,and the street lights coming on being the universal signal to get your butt home! …so many memories! ❤️🙏 I miss those days so much!
I had the yellow plastic snoopy lunch box. Used it for years!
I had the Space 1999 and '77 Star Wars lunchboxes (the Black one with Luke's X-wing getting shot at by the tie fighter)
Will never forget the 70s. Waiting all week until Friday night to see the newest episode of The Partridge Family, Charlie’s Angels and Welcome Back Kotter. And going to tree movies waiting in line to see Jaws and Blazing Saddles , and no one was offended about anything. Buying my first KISS album on 8-track. Great time to be alive, would give anything to go back knowing what I know now. Was a teenager back then and was sure I had life figured out, realize now I didn’t know shit! But it was so much fun, a whole different work and mindset back then.
I was a kid growing up in the 70's ages 5 to 14, best decade ever to be a child and so happy I got to experience it. I remember it all, Saturday morning cartoons, Saturday matinee movies at the local theater, the music, the toys we had then, such great memories. I wish I could someone go back to that time and relive it again, yes there are somethings I would have done differently, but for the most part it was the best of times.
Was also a 70's kid from age 2 to 11. Fun times.
I'm from the 90s but I'm sure the feelings are the same....I often reminisce about the good times.
Good lord, you must be almost exactly my age hehe. I was about 6 in 1970, and even here in the small island of Bermuda I can remember quite a bit of these references, being so physically close to the US (we're a British colony). Personally I'd also love to be able to relive a lot of those things, and someday I'll have the space to create a special 70's room, containing the decor (shag for days!) and a classic sound system (some of the best audio gear ever made came from later in the decade).
The best was BEING ABLE TO PLAY OUTSIDE all day long without fear of being shot or kidnaped. Walking to and from school with your friends without fear. Disney entrance fee so cheap you could go all summer long until you got bored with it. Going camping and fishing at the last minute and not having to worry about making reservations or even a park fee.
I was born in 64 so I was definitely a 70s kid too. Like most boys my hero's were Evel Knievel, Steve Austin and of course The Fonz and my favorite movies were Star Wars, Superman and Smokey and the Bandit, my mom wouldn't let me see Jaws because she thought it would make me afraid of swimming but I saw it anyway and didn't tell her, I was not afraid to swim afterwards BTW. The 70s were definitely a great time to be a kid.
I was a pre-teen in that decade & I remember practically all of what was shown in the video. But what was most memorable for me is the comfort, stability & youth of my family, where mom & dad were in their 30's & the whole nuclear family was intact. Dad had since passed away about 4 years ago, my sister has her own family & mom is now 80. And we even had a pet dog who lived for 10 years, passing away in the mid 1980's. We still have a lot of stuff that we have kept over the years from those times, including one old red shag carpet, Star Wars & other toys (I have the first set of Star Wars toy figurines), several board games, some bellbottom pants, other 1970's clothes, magazines/cookbooks, Atari 2600 & Coleco video game consoles, Dad's early 1970's stereo system with several 8-track tapes, typewriters, & even a small piece of wood paneling that I still have. We were also able to hold onto our mid-1970's Chrysler & Chevrolet cars up until the mid 1990's. But again, it was our youth & happiness as a family for which I will remember the 1970's for... & subsequently the 1980's as well.
If you were a teenager in the '70's then you are truly blessed and very privileged indeed! I'm always telling my kids and grandkids that it was the best era ever!
Fashion in style and colours evolved with as the seasons changed. The music of so many genres were awesome!
Not knowing that you missed a phone call just made life easier 90% if the time.
Our CB radio was actually our cellphone because we could tune in from anywhere to contact or make friends by chatting.
I would like a video showing the CB radio please.
I enjoy these videos. Thank you from S.A.
My sister would talk for hours on the phone, and it ticked my father off b/c the line was tied up.
I had a portable 8-track tape player. Super cool! I genuinely miss the 70s, it was such a magnificent time to be a kid. These videos make me teary, I absolutely love them.
I remember sometimes when listening to an 8-track tape, you could hear 2 or 3 songs on the album playing at the same time. The "fix" was to simply rewind the tape and start all over again.
We had an older neighbor who had an 8 track player in his purple colored Oldsmobile. He used to drive around the block playing CUT THE CAKE by the Average White Band super loud. When we heard that music playing and saw his car approaching, we'd all shout, "Here comes Tommy!" As Tommy drove by, he'd give us that, "Watchoo lookin' at punk?" stare. He was a wannabe tough guy until my friend's big brother stomped the tough guy out of him! 😆
I was born in the late 60s, so I caught just enough of the 70s to say I lived through it. Saw Star Wars in the theaters, went roller-skating with the disco ball and black lights, loved my crushed velvet glow in the dark poster of a jaguar in the jungle, the metal lunch boxes, watch Land of the Lost, played Space Invaders and Asteroids they had at the grocery store. Just a great time to be a kid.
We were so lucky to grow up in the absolutely best times.
Even born in the late 60's . . . the point is you seen everyday of the 70's even if you were young . . That's why it's called growing up in the 70's . . . There's a lot of people who only wish they could have seen just one day of the 70's . . . And you seen everyday of the 70's . . . Be happy about that . . . Like the old saying goes . you were either here during the seventies or you wasn't . . . There's no maybe in this . . You were there or you wasn't .
I awe young adults today when I tell them I saw the first Star Wars movie in the theater on the big screen, back in '78.
@@mordechai- To them that is as far back in time as WWII was to us when we were young. Remember how that seemed pre-historic? Well that's us now. LOL
I totally forgot about those crushed velvet glow in the dark posters!!! Omg you just brought back major nemories lol

I don't know. I wz born in 1968.i remember sum of this stuff,but I don't really consider myself a 70s kid. I went to middle & high school in the 80s.every thing I like & relate to is more from the 80s.i consider myself more of an 80s kid & even the 90s a young adult
Loved growing up in the 70's. I remember going to the Drive-In to see Star Wars when it was released in '77. I was only 3-4, but remember sitting in the old Ford Van with my parents and siblings waiting for the movie to start. I didn't understand what all the excitement was until I saw it on the screen and will never ever forget it. Funny how much fun we had growing up in the 70's/80's. My kids even love the music in those decades and find it awesome that they now get to listen to it on the radio/grocery/elevator etc. They will bust out the moves pretty much everywhere they hear the groove bustin tunes.
There’s a reason that the 90% of Classic Rock is from the 70’s. It was about fantastic song writing and mesmerizing guitar riffs. The 80’s was all about synthesized sound and enhanced vocals, not much in the way of song writing. I loved being a kid in late 60’s and 70’s.
Proud to say I'm a '70s child grew up as a teenager in the '70s I experienced it done it all the shag carpets, hamburger helper, the Disco the bell bottom pants. Mom's old station wagon. Sneaking into a drive-in theater, reading tiger beat magazine and plastering tons of posters of Sean Cassidy and don't forget, Bay City rollers the bubble gum band of that time❤️❤️❤️❤️
is this my sister? thats when Saturday morning cartoons RULED!
In our house it was Donny Osmond. I remember my oldest sister and her friends hanging out and playing Donny Osmond records over and over for hours, in the 70s I knew the words to puppy love off by heart.
