[stylist] links for cultural info of the seventies?

Mon Nov 2 17:25:23 UTC 2015

I've watched so many movies, read so many books, heard so many songs and
talked with so many people old enough to remember the 70's, I sometimes feel
like I were apart of it too, grin. I came a few years later in 81, but so
much happened, and came out of the 70's, it's amazing.

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.

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!
