Reassessing the Seventies

"The 1970s rarely inspire as much nostalgia as the swinging decade that preceded them. But the modern world owes more to those troubled times than we’d like to think"

actually, it has already been done in documentary form. See if you can scare up a copy of "Making Sense of the 60's" It is a bit lengthy - 6 glorious hours, but good.

but.. Polyesther suits that cling to your skin like napalm.. Endless choruses of the Bee Gees. run away! run away!

I'll have to see if I can find it.

Yes, I was amazed to see that polyesther was back as a fashion clothing constituent this past year or so. Not only that but they managed to combine it with pedal pushers AND bell bottoms! The horror! The horror!
