I had a thought a while back and decided to post it:
There is a side of me that feels like I time travelled back to the 1970's. Let's face it, like then, we have a horrible economy, an inept President, gas (and energy in general) prices are high, we have a weakened military, Islamic radicals causing trouble, the Russians are invading their neighbors and we have Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown as governor of California.
I heard Pablo Cruise on the radio a few days ago. I think this ties in.
Don't forget Billy Beer!
the music mostly sucks today
You're talking like your father..........
The adults back in the '60s and '70s thought that music sucked too.
As a side note, I think I found a picture of you......
The music was better in the 70’s and there was less political correctness.
On the other hand, the USC Trojans haven’t been to the Rose Bowl this decade. In the 1970’s, they went to six.
I was a teenager in the mid-to-late '60's and at the time, I thought the music of the day sucked. So I started seeking out tunes from the '50's and earlier.
Rod Stewart and Santana are touring together.
Blazing Saddles would have never made it to the screen in the current radical racist homo environment.
I wish it was the 70’s. At least we had the Reagan presidency to look forward to. O’dumbnuts is going to be marxist for life, just wait and see.
Now if we just had Pablo Cruise on the radio it might be a little more bearable.
I didn't see you post before I made mine....It's time to find your place in the Sun.....
Reg - You know your son looks like a fag to me. You better get married again cause he's going to wind up with somebody's "rooster" in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson!
I think that this is a malaise.
I was more of a Little River Band, guy, myself.
You can also add that the US manned space progam is nearly out of business — except for a joint mission with the Russians.
The difference is that Carter wasn’t deliberately trying to screw us up, it just came natural.
Obama is just an evil SOB.
Leisure Suits...Platform Shoes.....Little Greek Boy haircuts..Chevettes...
Disco Duck...Pet Rocks...Streaking...Hot Pants...National Lampoon Yearbook Edition...The Village People...
I think the end came when Blowhard Joe Namath and the Jets beat Johnny U and the Colts. It was the end of the golden age and the start of crass.
And some punks here thought the '70's suck. I'd trade 1974 for 2014 any day.
me too i loved the 70's
Same here. But I’d rather be stuck in 1970. By 1974, things had started to go to hell. (I wish I were stuck in the 60s. The normal part)
