Quoted:
Cocaine is a hell of a drug. That's the only way I can understand how people thought those colors were pleasing and that disco was good. It wasn't that people thought the colors looked nice, it was the only thing available - things weren't inexpensive. |

I'm old enough to remember the bicentennial, 1976 - pretty much everyone and everything was "America - Fuck Yea!!!!". I can't think about it too much though, because it can be depressing to tears to think we'll collectively never be that proud of our country again.

74 was a good year. http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb435/DamascusKnifemaker/Cars/IMG_2632c.jpg No it was not. By then the muscle care had been castrated by unleaded gas, catalytic converters, the insurance industry. etc, etc. 71 was the last year of real muscle cars. By 74 they were just shadows of their former selves. By 75 they were all gone. |

I will concede that those trucks and late muscle cars look great, but the clothing
Paisley ties wide enough to serve as a bib, plaid leisure suits, platform shoes, etc. And then there's disco I look at the 80's and 90's and giggle, I look at the 70's and cringe  |

They caught on in mid-60's 'fashion' because the hippies could buy surplus navy britches for 50 cents a pair. Pea coats & dungaree shirts were popular back then too. All Navy surplus stuff. |
