Just started to get into hotrod cars back then, Mopar. Learned a lot about mechanics. Good times for sure. I didn’t even know what ‘ the rabbit hole “ was then. Thanks for your post, brought back some really great memories! Quoting: LATHErunR Denver North, huh? It was Mullen for me, although the family had moved to Central, OR after my Sophomore year. Denver was a great place to live back through the entire '70's. Ski tickets were reasonably priced and for $10 bucks, you could ski all day! Elitches and Lakeside? were the great places to hang out on the weekends. Redrocks was great for concerts - saw Linda Ronstedt and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band there. I miss it all.... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77950539 True. People from the 1950s said the same thing when the 1960s-70s crept in. But I was walking down the street a few days ago and a guy driving by had rap music blaring from his car's speakers. Nothing but dark, mean, skanky lyrics and a staccato, mindless unmusical pounding bass beat could be heard all around him. That to me is America in 2020, affected symbolically by 8 years of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. |

Loved the 80s. Met the love of my life. Got married to an ijuuut in 86, had kids, the 90s were a blur and the noughties not much different. I want to be a kid again. Unassuming, naive, fun. Beats the.crap out of these times. I hate living in this era. It sucks. |

Then just last week while doing my genealogy research found out I am double cousins several times removed from Donnie, Ronnie, Johnny and Jimmie Van Zant! My first famous relations. Not presidents, not generals, not British Royalty but of all things, the Van Zants. Whodda? Not me. If I'd known this back in the day... you are of Alabama Royalty stock. . |

User ID: 73529291 United States 03/08/2020 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was in my twenties in 1978. It was not a good time. No jobs, not even in gas stations and quick stop marts. Interest rates were huge. We used to have to decide between gas for the junk car or groceries, and that was with two adults working full time jobs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21423850 No thanks. We have lots of problems today but I would not go back in the 1970's for anything. You were a child and your parents covered your expenses. And you probably had good parents too. You can thank Jimmy Carter for that. Fkn democraps. |

I was 18 in 1978, and lived on the VA/WV border. We would drive over the mountain to WV to buy alcohol, because WV was 18 as opposed to VA's 21. Life's a journey--pack with care. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78583516 03/08/2020 01:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 5-12! 1978? Good Times-Good Times! My preference would be to pick the 70s in general. I would live it over and over again if I could. To me, that decade, made a lot more sense over the decade we just experienced. Very little strife. More living and little, what we would say, "Just Existing." Sure! Government still wasn't worth a "Tinker's damn", but we laughed about it. Nixon, Ford and Carter were in it just to kill time and have their names in the history books. Gas corps used scared tactics about selling their products and the public muddled & Laughed about it. We were sold tinker toy homes and cars and were told, To go forth and enjoy" and you know what?...We did! After almost a decade of Vietnam and Johnson, we needed the 70s. It was our release! Nothing was going to take that away from us. Nothing! |
