What do you miss most about the 70's...
Whenever I hear a song from "The Who", or "Led Zep" etc. I always find a picture in my mind that leads me back to the 70's. I do miss the MUSIC! 
I know we can listen still, but it was exciting to hear about a new ALBUM, and a CONCERT. I miss the circle of FRIENDS I had. I do keep in touch with 2 friends often, and another only at Christmas time.
I miss how EASY and SIMPLE life was then. I miss a lot of the PARKS that Teens would hang out at. Roller Rinks (not many these days) and Drive-Ins (none around here that I know of). 
To be able to walk down the street at night and know the worst to look for was the drunk guy by the bar that would whistle and annoy you when he saw you walk past. 
I miss a lot of the GOOD TV SHOWS that were on. Lots of funny ones, (Chico and the Man...Happy Days...Welcome back Kotter...)along with AMERICAN BANDSTAND on Saturdays. Sometimes a certain Smell will take me back to a certain time (Ahuh...I know what you are thinking, but NO...not that smell. LOL) 
Perhaps a rainfall, or a bbq or just a perfume that reminded me of a good time years ago.
Anyway, today I was in my car and heard "The Who" and decided to come up with this question. I'd like to see things posted that you miss and enjoyed about the 70's . I am trying to bring a smile to mine, and anyone else's face that lived in the 70's and enjoyed it.

I miss the music; the TV(back when curse words were still forbidden); people enjoying the simple pleasures in life (instead of everybody being attached to an electronic device); the vehicles (you could actually tell the difference between them then-now they all look alike);the slower pace; having to get all dressed up to go to a disco/club-unlike now-people go in looking like slobs; the hairstyles; some of the fashions; the food (back before everybody was all up-in-arms about HFCS/fat/carbs and just ate and enjoyed every bite); people back then didn't seem as cynical and rude as they are now; kids were happy getting real toys for Xmas and didn't expect their parents to drop hundreds of dollars on the latest electronic gadget; watching all the Christmas specials; watching variety shows like Donny and Marie, the Brady Bunch, Sonny and Cher; roller skating every weekend; the drive-in(we still have one here in Vineland, NJ); when TV commercials were actually entertaining instead of stupid; the economy (better than it is now);and the #1 reason I miss the 70's: my folks were still alive and healthy.

I wish the 70s never ended. Everyone was doing drugs and screwing each other, and nobody cared.

I hear you on the age as well... some of us had to grow up...lol
I really do enjoy the internet, but not sure when I was a teen
if most of my time would be spent here, or texting on a phone!
I loved being with my "crowd" of friends~
