The trick to drinking out the hose was to let it run to get the sitting hose water out...

Some of that is the temperature change not the taste it's just no longer water that's been baking in rubber tubing

Ah yes, “glorious”
-30% abortion rate
-massive inflation
-oil crisis
-junk cars
-Jimmy Carter
-weather underground

Junk cars? The muscle cars? You're clueless.
weather underground-oh yeah-they heavily affected everyone's lives. Ridiculous
The music in the 70's was outstanding!

How did the Weather Underground affect you personally or anybody you know?

I think we can all agree that the internet deprived children of their childhood from about 2000 on.

I did have a ticket to the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in '77
I was fortunate enough to see them, thank goodness I had an older cousin that took me to the concert.
Besides being out all day playing ball, I also remember Estes model rockets. Stuck a metal rod in the ground and lit the fuse.

WTF? No one in the 70s cared about this shite.

We used to stand at the corner and see who could be the first to guess the make and model of the cars approaching, at night. Try that now when a Kia looks just like a Mercedes from 100 feet.

We also played cowboys and indians and made forts, spears, bow and arrows, played with knives, hatchets, and axes. No one ever got hurt other than something minor. Today's society would lose their minds if they observed how we played when we were growing up in the 70s

I don’t remember seeing any fat girls and we had no idea what a gay was.
I didn’t know that tetons existed until that one summer we saw a Penthouse that a friend stole from his older brother.

Much simpler times for sure.
You’re about a year my senior I’m thinking.
Late 50’s, early 60’s were very much like the video. “Come home when the street lights come on.”
In the Summer that was pretty late.

I turned 7 in 1979. It was a pretty cool time. 80's were better, but still pretty cool.

You think that's great, wait until you find out about the 80s. Better stuff and we actually were winning on the world stage.

By the time I was 18, Columbia must’ve claimed that I owed them thousands of dollars.
