I hated disco, but when this song played at da club, everybody jumped up to dance, including me in my tube top, flared blue jeans, gold chain & platform shoes & Farrah wings. To me, this song epitomized the disco era, & it was released in 1976. Tell me you’re not dancing when you hear this!
70s had new, exciting music, exciting clothes. So much happening then, both good and bad.
The biggest thing I hate is when people want to go back to the "good old days" when the those days were not fair to women, people of color, gay people and lots more.

The fact that the "good old days" weren't good for everyone does not negate that they were good for those who are looking back on them with fond nostalgia.
Here was my take on "Star Wars". At the time, I didn't care about nacen t computer generated images. So that was not a draw. I don't hate science fiction. I love some of it. "The Twilight Zone" for example - it's genius. I watched "Startreck" and my family watched it together.
Now I am enjoying "Stranger Things".
I loved "American Grafitti" - obviously, not science fiction, but a George Lucas movie. I wish he did.
I also wasn't attracted to Luke Skywalker.
I tend to look at "Star Wars" not just as a movie, but as a cultural phenomenon. I was 11 years old when I first saw it in the theater (the State Theater in Falls Church, VA) and I remember the experience like it was yesterday. Many years later, when they re-released it, it was playing in an old traditional-style movie palace (the Senator in Baltimore, MD) and my dad, who had never seen it, happened to be visiting. I talked him into going with me, mainly so he could enjoy the experience of seeing a film in the type of theater that used to be common in his youth. He loved the theater. To his surprise, he actually ended up liking the movie as well.
I also have to say: The Brothers Gibb were amazing, talented musicians whose work goes far beyond, before and after, the disco era. Look them up in depth sometime.
My friends and I are not nostalgic about anything in the 70's except the music!! Nobody hates 70's music!
