I was a teenager in 1970 it was a laid back time in life wish it was 1970 all over again!

There were many fads in the 1970's. Pet rocks were big .
They would come in little boxes with little peace of straw
in the bottom of the box.

Platform shoes were also very large in the 70's. People
would wear them mostly to parties, but others would wear them everywhere.
Jogging suits were also a big trend in fashion, later, people
started to worry about their weight, for some reason,
jogging became a popular sport, so jogging suits became
popular not just for running and working out, but for fashion too.

"Earth Day" was also a popular fad in the 70’s.
This was celebrated on April 22. Earth Day was a day when
people did such things as wear gas masks to demonstrate
their concern about pollution and the wish they had for a
cleaner Earth.

1970: ‘Deja Vu’, by Crosby, Stills, and Nash & Young is released. It contains favorites like “Teach Your Children” “Our House”

The Beatles release their 12th and final album, Let It Be;
Mick Jagger is fined $200 for possession of cannabis
The Concorde makes its first supersonic flight
President Richard Nixon was in office,
The first episode of All My Children starts,
Chevrolet Vegais were the new car to have,
Disco & Go-Go Boots were in.

Yep. Our local cable runs a bunch of Sid & Marty Croft reruns on Saturdays.

My husband loved The Land of the Lost and is ticked that Will Farrell is going to be in the remake. We like WF, but surely it's going to be really goofy.

And speaking of "surely" ... Airplane. Love that movie.

A little before my time, but loved listening to it on the radio as a kid on Sunday nights. Wish I could find it all of them online.
