I Miss 1978; I WANT IT BACK AGAIN, NOW!!!

I AM OLD... BUT I WAS STILL ONLY LIKE 4 ... NO 1978 ... WE WANT 1984

those were good times , Back When I was Hot!

Oakland of all places. Look at the people in the audience and then look at Oakland now. Demographics is all that matters. That’s what the difference is between now and the good old days.

I was nine and that was definitely the best year...76-1980 were the best in USA history! Best music movies rollerskating riding bikes hide and seek kids had freedom and no computers.

Favorite all time movies...Sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band...Peter Frampton and the beegees 1978, heaven can wait, and all the disco movies. Drive-ins and walk in theatres...all great! Always dream of those times...you could still find great seashells and sharks teeth on the beach!

They wrote 5'11 Moron; read it again.

A lot if not the majority of young American women are reprobates, thus immediately repulsive. A woman without faith in Jesus Christ is ugly and a bride of Lucifer.

I can't believe this was '75.

ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!!!
STILL DO!

I graduated in 78 and was overseas going to open air concerts in Germany and France. I still today have a Honda 110 trail bike. It climbs like a mountain goat and gets nearly a hundred miles a gallon. Until I did a bigger bore up grade, it now does 70 miles an hour. Its in excellent shape!

Forget the corona...You should be dancin

I was riding the crappy but fun taco mini bikes. They're being made again and they are SO much better built now.

This thread makes me feel like I’m as young as I’ll ever be and as old as I can get.

Best time in history to be a teen. Makes me sad to think about.

how about a 1978 Schwinn with a big fat nut buster gearshift lever in the middle?

I Thank You all kindly for your kind words and the reception the thread has had, I wasn't expecting it. I would have liked to have replied to some of the comments but this a.m., shortly after I posted it, I was "bannoned" for gawd knows why, I don't know... folks who hate 1978 or something? And the nasty comments about 5'12", I had forgotten to clarify. I was, at 12, all of 5 feet, 11 & 1/2 inches tall, and still am. When I was 12 though, once, because I was a kid and was tall, I wanted to be taller, so as a mistake once, I said, "I'm 5 foot 12!" (trying to round off the #, I guess) and the joke became, at 12, 'hey, here comes 5 foot 12!" I am sorry if it caused such a discord among some replying. It's almost as if it was the crime of the century or something.

I started this thread because it seems we are living in very distressed times as of these last couple of months, both on here and in the real world. My heart & soul yearns for a time of innocence for me, a time of fun, of life, of living, not death and disease.. Yeah, go ahead, call me melancholy for those times, I AM! I want our lives to be simpler again, I am older now and things seem just too complicated to deal with anymore, I want my "Next Stop, WILLOUGHBY," like the famous old Twilight Zone episode, where the man yearns for his childhood in ca. 1900 America, a simpler, carefree time for him growing up, as he approaches old age in the late 1950's.

It is such an important feeling for those of us who feel it. I guess I am feeling it now, more than ever. 1978 is MY Willoughby.

14 -15 years old in '78

I had a Tyco racetrack with this miniature car.
