I never was big on the 70s, music or otherwise. It just wasn't a good decade for me. Frankly, I was quite boring back then. $:-\$

Hmmmmm....and

I LONG for the 70s....music in movies, theater and rock was thrilling then...."Follies" and "A Little Night Music" and so many more, and "Jaws" and "Close Encounters" and "Star Wars" and "Superman" all had awesome soundtracks, and Pink Floyd and Yes and The Who rocked the rock world.

It's when, love it or hate it, ALW and Tim Rice gave us "Jesus Christ, Superstar"!!!

It's when we got "Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band," and it's when Carole King gave us "Tapestry" and it's when "Phoebe Snow" did her landmark first album...and Elton John gave us so many things, but most importantly "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road."

.and SO MUCH MORE....

I've not enjoyed a decade more than the 70s.

Hey, it's my first ever post. I'm sure glad I found the site. And the 70s were definitely the best time to be a kid.

A few faves:
We Will- Gilbert O'Sullivan
Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues-Danny O'Keefe
Payback is a Dog- The Stylistics
Brandy-Looking Glass
Rock Your Baby-George McCrae

Too much good to even scratch the surface!!

I remember my old manual typewriter on which you had to push a handle to go back to the beginning of the page. Ah, yes, the old days when I learned to type. They all laughed (not a Christopher Columbus) when I took typing by choice in 11th Grade Summer School (circ 1970) but I can now type between 80 and 90 words a minute and, although there's nothing wrong with them, I never had a waiter job as an actor.

i remember in the early seventies at school we all learnt to play "morning has broken" on the recorder .... what were they thinking?

Thanks for the welcomes, all. Such a spirited bunch!

Also, most songs by Bread rule.

G'day OzDerek and Welcome DR Rodzinski.

DR OzDerek is of course not Australian at all. (Tasmanian is quite a different thing).

"Daddy don't you walk so fast" is my least favourite song by my least favourite performer - wouldn't you know. Presley's "Don't Cry Daddy" is much better sentimental schlock.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #138 on:** February 01, 2005, 12:54:14 PM »

Ah yes, the clothes. You could buy pants with a longer inseam because they had to cover your shoes with the tall heel! And yes as OzDerek has written, they had to have flares AND cuffs!

Welcome, new Dear Reader Rodzinski. Do you like Cherry Coke?

Interesting Lightning Bug Fact:

If you are in a field at night and there are lightning bugs - if you have a small flashlight with you - watch a specific lightning bug for a bit and see the pattern of his light. Duplicate it with the flashlight behind you hand and eventually the bug will fly to you and land on your hand. Always.

Yes, I had a Cherry Coke three days ago when others were drinking Diet Pepsi.

Yeah! DO something different! (That's Cherry Coke's slogan, for those of you who don't know that.)

I'm hungry. I'm going to skedaddle and eat some pizza. I'm not sure if I'll get a Cherry Coke or not because I got one this morning and I don't want the Quickie Mart people to think I'm addicted to it or anything.

I thought MEDIUM was an excellent episode; highly entertaining and I had no problems with anything that was transpiring. I felt on the witness stand she walked the fine line between truth and lying without actually lying, and it was kind of exhilarating actually so see how well written it was. And the showdown with the lawyer was simply priceless.

This show has become one of my favorites.

Welcome new dear reader Rodzinski. How did you find us? I suppose I'm safe in assuming you've seen The Creature Wasn't Nice (aka Spaceship, aka Naked Space) and that you are a fan of Mr. Gerrit Graham, who plays Rodzinski in that very film. Unless you're a fan of conducter Arthur Rodzinski, from whom I borrowed the name.
