I REMEMBER THE 70S CUZ I WAS THEREsw

I was born in 1954. My first car was a 57 Chevy that I paid $75.00 for. The first concert I went to was to see Donovan. And have been to hundreds since. I saw men land on the moon and I saw President JFK get killed. I was in the Marines and my brother was fighting in Vietnamese Nam. I remember Panama Red, Acapulco Gold + tons more. I’ve done purple microdot, psilocybin in high school. Been smoking reefer since I was 12 and haven’t stopped yet.
 
Gingerbeard 1. Don't worry about me and monkey pox. 3. As a tattoo jewess, I have made it a lifelong habit, so to speak, to stay far, far away from nunneries. I'd rather be burned at the stake.
 
You have a bashing or a bashful complex. I never bashed you: you hyperbolize for dramatic effect, but it is mere sound and fury, signifying nothing. You're just jealous cuz you wasn't around in the 70s.
 
Born in 1962. First car was a 1975 Ford Courier. White spoke rims, eight track in the dash blasting Molly Hatchett. First concert was Boston. Awesome show. Their first album was pure gold imo. Sammy Hagar opened the show.
 
I was born in 1958. First car was a Dodge Coronet. Bought from my mother. I don't remember the first concert because I was stoned. It could have been Blue Oyster Cult and ZZ Top but like I said. I love live music and have been to dozens and dozens of live shows. I still remember the Rolling Stones at the Cotton Bowl on a pink stage. ELP in Tulsa. And Led Zeppelin in OKC. Yes, they made it to OK. Me and my friends came out of a Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes concert tripping and the there was a person telling everyone the world was coming to an end. It was an interesting night after that, at least what I think I remember. That was before Ted lost his way. I was privileged to see Mr. BB King a couple of times. One of the most memorable was Eric Clapton and Freddie King in Tulsa, 1976. They did a guitar duel with just the two of them on the stage. It was awesome. When I was eleven I was so excited to be able to write 69 on school papers, you know for the date, right? Started smoking weed when I was 14. $10 a lid. Me and my friends would save lunch money and go in on a bag every week. I loved LSD, quaaludes (Rorer 714) for all those that wish they were there, mushrooms, peyote, and speed. Smoked daily till about 25 and then took a 30 year break from any substance. When OK approved medical cannabis I got a prescription and started smoking and growing. No more chemicals for me but I do love me some cannabis.

You missed 2. Comes after 1. and before 3. if 1. is used first.
For a Wm. S. quoter, that's all you have to say about my nunnery comment?
Yeah. Put down your Cliff's notes and word or quote-of-the-day calendars. Be yourself. You might like what you find.
 
Gingerbeard Yes, that's all I have to say. Come up with a better W.S. quote.
I never read Cliff notes in my life: I always went straight to the source. Cliff notes are for folks who don't read.
And I'm always myself: who else can I be? Cease and desist with these platitudes that sound like Hallmark greeting cards. I expect better of you.
 
Polyester: THAT explains it. You wore polyester, your body was encased in petroleum distillates, you listened to bad rock n roll, you ate boxed food. They should have taken you away from your parents for doing all that to you.
 
Most of my memories from that time period are a bit hazy and acid laced so whether they are actual memories may be a matter of some debate but I can confirm I don’t regret them and yes it’s true! There are

In 1975 I was on the yearbook committee- this picture I did waaay back then got the Teacher in a lot of trouble for not noticing the belt buckle until after the printing was done and the books were delivered. Oops

In 76 I was a proud to be a bicentennial graduate, happy to be one of the few who for 6 months didn’t have to register for the draft and we were all laughing each morning as we walked into school wondering how big the pot plant in the entry way of the high school would get before the janitor noticed. 🙂
 
First car was a '78 Ford Fiesta. First work I ever did on a car was swap the engine from a '77 FF. Used nothing but the car shop manual. Started the car on the first try after the swap. A proud accomplishment in my life.
Second work was replacing the brake system from master cylinder to pads and shoes. All that is straight forward.
