Don't miss or care much for 1977. Nevertheless, it's an interesting flashback.

Horrendous economic times.

And a dope with a sweater in the White House telling us constantly how bad everything was.

The extremely exciting debut of square headlights.

I must admit 1977 was an uninspiring year.

I was 15.

I was on a carrier in the Med for much of that year...

You know, I had a great time in the Seventies. Cars were rusting, people were out of jobs, gas was short, the Soviets were trying to ram our ships, haircuts were stupid, and clothes were even stupider, but...I was living life pretty fully then!

Not always appreciating it being away from family and friends, but...THE MUSIC OF THE SEVENTIES WAS GREAT!

Probably stuck on some Highway somewhere with my thumb out. Just got discharged and was just bumming around.

This time of the year in ‘77 I had just graduated High School. I spent my Summer partying before getting ready to head off to college. Lots of it is fuzzy but I do remember going through a case of Haffenreffer Private Stock on one weekend.

Moved way out into the back country of Northern California to get away from all that crap shown in that YouTube video.

Best move I ever made.
