Big ass shirt collars.
Hiding in the trunk of an Impala to sneak in to a drive in showing "Cheech and Chong's Up in smoke". And being quite stoned the whole time.
Girls in tube tops.
Drinking Lucky Lager cause it was cheap. You could get a case for like $2.50

Trying to buy peppermint schnapps because we heard girls would drink it.
8 Track tapes-remember how they would fade out, change tracks and the fade in?
watching 8mm porn in my buddies garage.
Double dating in my buddy Bill's Polara - it had a 3 speed push button transmission (no shit).
And this song...
I almost saw Sweet (in the 80's), had a ticket, got to the night club they were playing only to find they had cancelled as the singer had a sore throat.
ReplyDeleteWe were offered tickets to see Mud instead, I didn't bother just got my money back...
Awesome post. Was that really you? Love the hush puppies.
ReplyDeletePushbutton transmission? Criminy, I thought Edsels were the only cars ever to feature that odd idea.
ReplyDeleteIt's, it's a ballroom blitz!
ReplyDeleteHa! What a funny video. The lead singer just doesn't know what to do with his hands, he's just so obviously uncomfortable.
I was in Jr. High in the 70's but I so remember the Adidas T-shirts, 501 jeans and Chuck-T hightops. And I still listen to 'Silk Degrees' and 'Frampton Comes Alive' all the time...great album.
My best friend's brother had a Ford Fairlane with plates that said "Rocker", an 8 track system and a full collection of Van Halen, and Aerosmith. We used to go cruising with him every-once-in-awhile, when he allowed it. Man what a thrill that was.
