The 70's was an awesome decade. I loved Classic Rock long before it became Classic Rock.

Yes, I did wear bell bottom Levi's.

I made clackers in my arts and krafts class.

I was feeling nostalgic and bought my wife a mood ring a few years ago. When she's happy it turns blue. When she's pissed it leaves a red mark on my forehead. :injury:

I spent almost 4 years living in Vegas in the late 70's. Disco was the big thing. And weird names for nightclubs. Names like Diana's Bananas and The Mobey Grape. I was never into the polyester suit but I came close. Used to have Levi jackets in different colors with matching corduroy pants. And platform shoes. Some of those shoes turned me from 6'1" to 6'5".
