Lot of truth in this 10 minute video.
Those who were around in the summer of 1971 can relate.
Might just seem that way now, as we tend not to recall so well the not-so great things that had happened.
Brings to mind an episode of the original Twilight Zone, where some guy is constantly living in the past, longing for the days of old. Then, one day, through the miracle that was the Twilight Zone, he is 'transported' (somehow) back to the past, to when he was about 13. Almost immediately he is recognized by the group of kids he knew and grew up with. It is not long before they start doing to him what they did back in those days: bullying and tormenting him. Later when he is brought back to the present, he has an entirely different feeling about the past. He apparently had only remembered the good times. The episode was titled: "The Incredible World Of Horace Ford"
IMO, the worst of the songs back then were better than most of what’s popular today.
My 1st album was Grand Funk Live
I was 16 in the summer of 71, well, part of the summer.
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.
I turned 16 in 1971. But I loved horses, guns, and hunting and was not really a part of the social trends. None of my friends had anything to do with marijuana. We were squares living in the Green Hills area of Nashville. We all supported South Vietnam. There was a sea of South Vietnamese flags at the January 6th Washington rally by the way.
I was born in December of 1970 so, obviously, I have no memories of 1971.
I loved growing up in the 80’s and only remember the late 70’s and portions of the mid 70’s.
Despite 1979 being the worst year of my life, I hold some fond memories of the 70’s.
I love 80’s music, but the music from the 70’s was the best. I regret not being old enough to attend a Deep Purple or Supertramp concert.
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!
Me either 14 in 1971
Boone's Farm made grape wine??? my whole life i've only seen apple and strawbhill, too funny
Yeah, I too only remembered their Apple and Strawberry wine.
We used to have some “responsible” adult buy us a couple of bottles and we would then go to the local schoolyard and pass them around. They tasted pretty damn good from what I recall.
My dad was from Baltimore, and my mom’s two younger brothers moved from Brooklyn to Baltimore and settled there, even though my dad wound up dragging my mom to Miami....so all my extended family was in Baltimore DC area, save for some loony 2nd cousins in Brooklyn!.....Funny, my dad hated Baltimore but still rooted passionately for their teams, and he left there only 3 years after the Orioles made their debut..... I’ve spent my whole adult life in Queens....still root for the Orioles, but luv the Mets too
I didn’t write that.
I responded to it.
I was born and lived on Manhattan's Lower East Side until my father bought us a 3-bedroom house in the South Richmond Hill area of Queens in Oct 1970. AS I grew older I more hung out in nearby Ozone Park. As of 2019, I've been back in Manhattan. He paid $19,000 for it. At one point in the decades that followed it was estimated at close to $400,000! After my parents had passed we sold it for around $240k. Needed lots of TLC by that time.
Watch later.
Happy Anniversary
I was 14.
I was 16.
We had 10 speeds by that age (16). I did have homebrew stingray when I was 10.
We had REAL music!! I was 17 that summer, too. It seems our lives were accompanied by music at all times- in the car, our rooms, at the beach- we were always singing!
I was 14 when you were born.
With the exception of Boones Farm, Beatles, banana seats, 10-speeds, fast cars, amplified music, Marijuana, Vietnam, and hashish, y’all would be describing the 1950s.
Of course, I’m unable to think of a more wholesome time to have been an American child.
