Was there anything about the 70’s that didn’t suck? Even pizza gets old after a while, and what could possibly be good about disco?

It died. Sometimes, when something is so awful, the act of it dying makes you appreciate the sheer scope of contrast.

Yeah there was -- being young in the 1970's!

"Even pizza gets old after a while"...

Uh, you haven't had the right pizza --or you would have memories of it being so good that you ate the leftovers for breakfast -- especially in NYC.

"and what could possibly be good about disco?"

Disco meant that men learned how to dance in order to get anywhere with a girl, and I don't mean standing on the dance floor and flapping their arms like a chicken. Some were good dancers, some sucked at it, but most gave it a shot -- and you danced as a couple. (You could learn a lot about each other on the dance floor from dancing as a couple.) And women got to dress up in some beautiful dance clothes, because the guys also made an effort at dressing well, too.

While the very mention of "the 1970's & disco" used to make me blush, now I am really glad that I spent my youth back then. Beats the heck out of growing up today! I don't envy kids their current youth.

You can't possibly imagine what is was like growing up a NYer. Son of Sam, the Yankees, The 1977 blackout. It was a scary and exciting time!
