6. The 70's were pretty good for me
I worked steady,took a couple weeks vacation every year and really enjoyed life...The 80's for me was when everything went to hell because of the "trickle down" economy..

8. Unfortunately they also came up with AIDs. Yeah, it didn't present
until the early eighties in large numbers, but it was in the seventies.

15. We did NOT "come up with disco"...
..it fell out of a cow's ass.

We survived disco....

I used to tell my HS students that if this country lived thru disco, it will survive anything.

16. People Had Fun in the 70s
Like Richard Pryor said: "Everybody was fucking. Then Reagan got elected, and people stop fucking."

18. That's how I remember it.
Lots and lots of great sex. And the worst thing going around then was Herpes. And a brand-new Harley.

Then came Ray-Guns and AIDS.

No more fun. The Harley got stolen.
