Were the 70's better than today?

well for me it was... it was my teen era... but I'm sure in reality, the UK was in a terrible Political state during the 70's... all of which went over my head.

It was my teen era, too. I was very proud to be of the Pepsi generation, and loved the commercials about it. I danced disco, went jogging, sprained my ankle walking in those stupid platform shoes. Ah, memories!

LOL...she might look like you..speak for yourself.. lol.... she's 87 years old.. and for all my faults I don't think I look that old in my mid 60's...:ROFLMAO:..however all Kudos to a woman who never ruined her face with plastic surgery as so many in the public eye have.. and she looks so much better for it..

To put it in perspective she's only 8 years younger than the Queen
 
I was in my early teens when 1970 rolled around. Surprising how few forms of entertainment we had in those days. TV had three channels and nothing but soaps all day. Rock concerts were huge though and me and my friends went to see them all. Seen every rock band imaginable. Everything from ZZ Top to Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Electric Light Orchestra, you name it. Tickets were three bucks, maybe five bucks for most of 'em too.

You summed up here what I was thinking.

When those 70's style clothes came back in the stores a number of years ago, they gave me flashbacks.

Plaid carpet elephant bells with 3 inch cuffs, loud patterned plastic shirts with 12 inch lapels, 4 inch wide white belts, chunky high heels on guy's shoes, pimp daddy fashions of all descriptions. Flying in the face of conformity. Some so hideous bringing 'em back for a second go 'round was strictly out of the question :LOL::LOL:

The 70's eh? Well let's see. I was a few years out of college and was just starting my career as a physicist working for the Navy. I met the girl in 1970 who would become my wife. By the end of the decade, my wife had given birth to 2 of our (eventually) 4 daughters, we had bought one house (1973) that we sold and moved to another (1979) where I lived for over 40 years (my wife passed away in 2014), and I had become a more senior level research scientist in my career. So on a personal level, the years were good for me. But I also remember the gas lines and the inflation. Except for a few songs, most (but not all) of the good, real Rock N' Roll had come out in the 60's (and late 50's) (excluding the "bubble gum" songs of course). Of course "better" is a relative term, as I am now an old man.
