Camming in that hoodie pays my rent. Deal with it.
Innovations in technology in the seventies laid the foundation for everything that came in decades since. You can't just skip the seventies and think you'd be on the internet today.

It was great. $20 oz. for weed. The going theme was gas, ass, or grass. Nobody rides in my car for free. Built a nice little social network for everyone. We didn't need 200 Facebook friends to plan our stuff. They didn't proof you at the bars so at 16 there was a better than even chance you could get in. Easy to talk your way out of a ticket too. Today the cop makes you stay in your car. Back then you would get out and walk to the cop inside his car. They saw that as courtesy and respect since they didn't want to get cold or wet.

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
1. It showed a still of grass and a random names in the show's opening's typeface, and still I knew what show it was. That's kinda sad.
2. Mary Ingalls was hot.
Glad you were or glad you weren't?
******* apparently got big back in the seventies, if you believe the movie Blow. I don't know, I was born in '73. I don't think it's cool to **** can a whole decade because some aspects were whack. If you think any decade was perfect you've got on some serious blinders.
Not to mention the butt flu (aids) came of age in the eighties.
Didn't need that. Like I said, a still of grass and random names in the show's opening's typeface, and still I knew what show it was. I knew before I hit play, just based on the low rez preview shot in the player.
Star Wars???
OK, I was just a snot nosed *** but I do remember most of the decade. Muscle cars, Allman Brothers, Zepplin, Skynyrd, The Who, playing outside all day without needing to have someone making sure that you weren't snatched, riding a bike without a helmet, sitting on **** lap and "steering" the car. Then Disco came along and ruined the whole damn thing.

No ****. If you were wearing a helmet while riding a bike, you better be on your way to/from football practice, otherwise the rest of he **** were going to draw time-assignments out of a hat just to call you and tell you what a pussy you are. These days, I think there's an island prison out in the Pacific for parents whose **** don't wear those dumbass-looking brain buckets.

Monty Python and Mel Brooks. Smoke a cigarette anywhere you wanted. Lighters, ash trays and front bench seats were standard equipment in cars (starting in 2014 there will no longer be front bench seats available for any American car even as an option.) No seatbelt laws. Trick or treating was done at night.
