Ahhh. the 70's

The 70s was a big change in my life. I left the job that I had since nursing school, left mom and dad and the home where I grew up, got married, bought a house, and had 2 kids. I didn't have much time for fashion but do remember the bell bottoms.
Fixing up our home, living from paycheck to paycheck.
First holiday dinners I made for the family on both sides, I never cooked a turkey in my life. Scared to death I'd do it all wrong but I did it.
Exciting times back then.

Well I don't know where most of you were in the "70s" but I was in a war for the greater part of that time frame! And actually spent little time in the states.

That kind of sucked. I was fortunate, (well that may be a poor choice of words) that my time in Nam was 68-70, so I got to enjoy the 70's.
The picture on the right is my wife with the nose of her 57 sneaking into the shot. :)
 
Exciting times in 70s. Tried MDA, blotter acid, THC, Mescaline, gathered shrooms, went to concerts, saw the original Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd concert, Mott the Hoople, Jethro Tull, Cat Stevens...went to night clubs saw more bands. Graduated high school 1973. Moved out on my own at 18. Oh yeah, I lost my mind. 🤔

We have been watching the Bob Newhart show lately. It is fun looking at their clothes and remembering those trends.

We didn't call these bell bottoms, I remember calling them palazzo pants. :unsure:

"Bell-bottoms" or "flared-leg" pants, is what I remember.

I always thought the name "palazzo" was a name given to in later years to make the style sound more hip?
 
I got out of the service in January 1970 and wanted to find the peace and love folks I'd heard so much about. It was too late and it was fading into just being a self-centered drugged-out culture. I was pretty lost. Not too long after I got back into riding waves alone, bought a guitar, got married, had a son, got a job, took college seriously and moved along . . . slowly but surely . . . :cool:
