Tell me something that you miss about the 1970’s.

I’ll start - the color orange.

The Ford Pinto.

Oh.... wait!

I was in a car accident in one of those in the early 90's - hit by a Monte Carlo - thankfully - broadsided!

Man my friend was a terrible driver.

The bookmobile - a mobile library. They came around every two weeks to my little rural town. The bookmobile ladies always had books stashed away for me because they knew I was a voracious reader. They helped open my eyes to the world. One of my most fond memories.

The 70’s was the absolute last gasp for the dying medium known as commercial radio.

It was the last time you could tune in to a radio station where the programming was curated by a human being rather than programmed by charts and graphs and a computer.

It was the last time a DJ had a couple of open slots every hour where they could pick what they wanted and were allowed to spin a record just to see if it caught on with the listeners.

It was the last time a song which exceeded a four minute and twenty five second time limit could still find a home on the airwaves.

It was still a time before the sleazy likes of Rupert Murdoch and Clear Channel.

That’s what I miss about the 70’s.

I can only speak for the later half of that decade, but I miss Sesame Street with Mr. Hooper.

Some of you already stole some of my responses, like my youth, my baby shit green Vegas, but I also miss doing gymnastics in the yard with the whole neighborhood of kids.

What i miss most about the 1970's is the 1970's. People today often do not even know what a landline phone is. Do they ever watch TV? Maybe too busy texting each other nonstop.

Only seven TV channels -- three networks, three local stations, one PBS -- and yet there was still plenty of good stuff to watch.

we only had three BBC1 BBC2 and ITV
