I'm that transparent?

I thought disco was 80s. In the 70s we were too stoned to dance. It took all we had to make room on the couch during Saturday Night Live.

Ooooh! Thanks for the song 70s reminders.

Been looking some of those.

But they inspired legions of PUNKS!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Let us not forget that the 70's brought us the anti-Disco, non conformist, hard rocking band KISS!!!

James Taylor's whole career was built on touchy feely fern bar music.

[pissant]

I'd love to see that. James Cotton is a super stud!

[NRA1995]

There was a song called Chevy Van. Had to be the world's cheesiest song!

Beat out by "Me & You & A Dog Named Boo"

[TheBigB]

Don't ask me how I know this because it's too embarrassing to tell.

Because you watch The Surreal Life. < BigB points and laughs > :o)

[day10]

I would add pretty much any song done by Neil Sedaka in the 70's. That was like nails on a chalkboard.

[maggief]

Ha!

Do tell.

[SIDENET]

Whoa! Hang on...........we HAD a lime green Pinto. It was such a novelty back then that we didn't think how utterly outrageous it was till' years later! LOLOLOL

I don't know if I've got you beat, but our family car was a bright (very bright) orange 1977 VW bus with a white top. It had something like 70 HP and a top speed of 75 mph on level ground.

Afternoon delight: Bad song, great sentiment!

[TheBigB]

Sammy Johns sang Chevy Van. Great song! =P
