I was a teen in the 70's (graduated high school in 1978). That was THE worst decade for music!!! Does anybody here remember that this song was one of the biggest songs of 1976??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc5d01_riBo

Polyester leisure suits, terrible music (acid rock or disco), and Schlitz beer!!!! Man I hated the70's!!!!!

Plus.... I've always looked at the late 60's and early70's as the decade that morals in this country went into the toilet............

Nylon shirts

Static shocks

But then a bit later in the '70s we got things like this:

It seems strange that this was so shocking at the time.  Compared to more modern stuff it really seems quite tame.

We had no remote for our cable.  But we had this strange sliding channel changer.  We got all the Seattle channels, Vancouver and Victoria, BC area channels.  We also got KTVU from Oakland, later replaced by WTCG Atlanta (later known as WTBS).  We also got a Portland channel and Showtime.  That was about it.  But it was cool to have cable because the Canadian channels often had the same shows as the American channels.  So we could watch them at a different time since VCR's were not common or in existence then.
