7. compare to those of the 80s
those of the 70's had the benefit of the last scrap of innocence left to the planet.

8. Yup
It had it's problems, sure. There hasn't been a decade yet that hasn't so I can't hold those of the 70's against them.

But yeah...it's a decade that I remember more fondly than any other.

9. The 70's were FUN!
Concerts weren't so damn expensive, weed was cheap and we got rid of Nixon and Agnew too.

13. I had a red, white, and blue t-shirt I wore for the Bicentennial
celebration...

It was a white shirt with "flower power" printed on it over and over and red and blue. :D
