[stylist] links for cultural info of the seventies?

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

I remember (I was in high school and college back then.

I remember the "streaking" craze that went on for a while in 1974.  I also remember 1975 and 1976 as when disco got going (remember the 
BeeGees?  Foreigner was also big then.

Do you remember the 55 MPH speed limit, CB radios, "smokey bear" and convoys?

Yeah, quite the age.

Shawn

Hi Sherry!

Those were the days! Do you remember the Eagles, Queen, Led Zeppelin and KISS and Saturday Night Live and flared pants and betamax videos (was that what they were called?) and trying to skateboard and hanging out at the mall?

I remember everyone getting ready for the big Bicentennial.

The rest ... age, you know. (grin)

Good luck with your novel!
