My 1970's Acrostic

T	The wide belts, hip-huggers, bell bottom pants
H	Hip people dress like Sonny and Cher
E	Everyone loves Carol Burnet, Harvey Korman,  and Bonanza

S	Singers cannot compete with Barbara Striesand
E	Everyone Knows Tony Orlando and Dawn
V	Very important to move away from home at 18
E	Every country music lover knows Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson
N	New show about a single woman, featuring Mary Tyler Moore
T	Too cute Marlo Thomas steals our hearts
I	I am sorry to report we are still in Viet Nam
E	Everyone sees  Bette Midler, Tina Turner, and Robert Redford
S	Suddenly everyone is wearing tops that look maternity

Thank you; the 60's and 70's are both favorite times of mine.

Always love doing down memory lane of the 70's. Well done, Caren.

I remember how shocked I was in 1974 when I realized that all smocks looked like maternity because I had already spent two full years in maternity clothes, having had a baby in 72 and 74. I was horrified!
