Thursday Thirteen - Things I loved about the 70s

Thirteen Things about the 70s that I loved 1.... High school! - being on the flag corps, going to football games, dating. Loved it all! Also being co-editor of our high school newspaper and on the year book staff. 2.... The Disco! - In my senior year, I practically lived at the disco, dancing the night away. That was soooooo much fun. 3.... The Air Force! - I joined the Air Force in January 1979. I loved being in tech school in Biloxi, Mississippi and especially being on the Drum & Bugle Corps and twirling flags on their flag corps. I loved marching in parades throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, especially in Shrevesport and the New Orleans Mardis Gras parade. 4.... Saturday Night Fever. I loved the movie - and I loved the dances and the music. I thought John Travolta was sooooo hot. 5.... CB radios and the CB radio culture - That was so much. The "rubber duck", 10-4 good buddy, put the pedal to the medal... Rent and watch "Smokey & The Bandit" to either acquaint yourself or refresh your memory. 6.... David Cassidy - Gawd, but he was a doll. I loved him. 7.... Kings Island - It's a huge amusement park between Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio. I worked there two summers. I even met my hubby there. They have a replica of the Eiffel Tower, a Lion Country Safari, awesome roller coasters, etc. I wasn't too thrilled about the life size Hair Bair Bunch characters running around in the kiddie section, however. 8.... Star Wars!!! Star War mania was bigger then than the 1st trilogy. My boyfriend was in love with the music and I have to admit, I liked it a lot, too. I was in love with Hans Solo (Harrison Ford) 9.... roller skating. I either lived at the roller skating rink, the bowling alley, or on the Ohio River. 10... Grease. The original grease came out. Ditto above. John Travolta was HOT - more so in this than SNF 11... Saturday Night Live. The original cast. I liked it so much better then than now. With Chevy Chase, John Beluchi, and Dan Akroyd 12... Donny Osmond. I also was in love with Donny Osmond. (I think I still am.) 13... The Bee Gees. I loved their "Knights On Broadway" song first, but then also their Saturday Night Live album.
