Larry is just proving a point:
EVERYONE WAS INSANE IN THE 70's !!!
how else do you explain:
Butterfly collars?
POLYESTER?
POLKA DOTS?
injection molded furniture?!?!?!?!
MUSHROOMS with jolly old faces??? (sorry, dont ask.)
Mr Potato Head?!?
SHAG CARPET?
TUBE SOCKS?
BANANA SEATS!?!?!?!
ELTON JOHN?!?!?!
or these:
people like John Mackenroe and Bruce Jenner were "serious athletes"
You could smoke cigs ANYWHERE and did... even on airplanes
!
the 70's were like a bad dream that instead of ending, it just morphed into a new nightmare called "The reagan years" otherwise known as the 80's or the "My metal band uses more Hairspray in one gig than lonnie anderson does in a lifetime" era.
and what was up with 1976 being "lets paint everything and i mean EVERYTHING red white and blue (RW&B) for the bicentennial...
if you bought a squirt gun it was R.W.& B.
if u got a bicycle (with a BANANA SEAT) it was RW&B with RW&B TASSLES.
TASSLES in and of themselves are pretty useless form with LITTLE function design that tells me it was probably dreamed up in the 70's!
but at least they did design cool vehicles in the 70s thats one thing i will say...
all in all... i loved the 70s but if i would have known how ridiculous the family photos and the clothes my parents clad me in.... would end up looking...
I would have stayed naked.
ok my rant is nearly over...
i cant afford gas whether its 3 dollars or 5 a gallon... so that would never affect my decision to keep my cj-7 w/a str8 6....
:lol:
