It was a decade that spawned the Sex Pistols and the Vietnam War, platform shoes and Saturday Night Fever.

The Seventies also gave us The Godfather and Space Hoppers but those glam rock years will forever live in the shadow of the Swinging Sixties.

There was a time when that was all I listened to, loved the O’Jays, The Ohio Players (especially those album covers, hee hee), early Commodores, etc.

Good stuff. Seems like yesterday, but it’s a million miles away. No flash, just solid, kick-ass rock and roll. Van Zandt is The Man.

“As I hunker down for this polar vortex, nothing will be like the winters of the late 70’s in the northeast, and I survived them.”

How well I remember more than one “coldest new years eve ever” on those years.

“I remember the 70s and look back with a different perspective now knowing how thoroughly it was an Operation Mockingbird culture intentionally bringing down the character and capabilities of the American people.”

We were given many distractions to not see (not understand) what was happening to us.

My brother saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at a small venue in the Orlando area for $8.50 in 1980. He still has the ticket stub.

>> They left out the most important thing: my band, “Rampage.”

>>We opened for Steppenwolf, James Gang, Savoy Brown, recorded two limited >>release singles, were reviewed by Billboard, Cashbox, Record World very >>favorably, played a set at the Troubadour with the Who sitting in attendance, >>and were the Allman Bros. back stage guests at their Cincinnati Concert!

That’s awesome. Sadly, Kim Simmonds died a few days ago. All those bands are awesome and we still listen to them on our Friday night ritual “BITP” gatherings (beers in the park). I’ll have to look up Rampage; the name rings a bell. Do you happen to remember the English band Angel Witch who were coming up to international attention at the start of the 80s? (There’s a connection here).

>> If you think you’re gonna take her away, with your money and your cocaine...

+1 for the Tom Petty reference. I wish I could respond to all the music and kids’ stuff memories here. We’re all on the same page. (Except, Journey is pretty crap, sorry).
