I was 9 and still remember all the top hit songs that summer. Carole King wrote the #1 & #2 songs....You’ve Got A Friend (James Taylor) and It’s Too Late...That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be by Carly Simon was #3....Other favorites were Don’t Pull Your Love, Sooner or Later, Mr. Big Stuff.
I went to a sports day camp in Miami at Biscayne College. The Miami Dolphins did their training there. We got to work out in their weight room. I was a huge Baltimore Colts fan and left a note in Bob Griese’s locker saying “the Colts could kill you”. A few days later I found out that he saw it, and was laughing with the other players.
I wish my son could have grown up in that world.
Same here. Even though I've lived all but one of my 63 years in New York City I became a big Colts fan after watching them win the 70-71 Super Bowl on the new 13-inch B/W TV my parents had just bought me for Christmas 1970.
Afterwards, I had wanted them to buy me an "official" Colts helmet to use when playing tackle with my friends vs other guys from different blocks. However, they said they were too expensive. So instead I took a blue magic marker and drew a lop-sided Colts horse shoe on my existing plain white helmet!
