Nineteen Seventies
They talk about how the country these days, has fallen into such a Goddamn mess. It’s worse than anyone has ever seen, must have forgot the seventies, I guess. They talk about how the ex-president, did not do things the same way they use to. But they must have forgotten all about, Tricky Dicky back in seventy-two. Congress showed us another bill they...

Premium Member If I Was Heading To the Seventies
Where are you going? I wondered as they toddled by. They were dressed in hippie costumes, and I wondered why. They are heading to nineteen seventy, another said. I loved this and kept it alive all day in my head. If I was heading to the seventies, I would need a vee double you. It would have to be sassy...

Premium Member Lynette Loves the Seventies
Lynette was attached to the ambiance of the seventies. She had a shag rug with large loops and flecks of silver. Bulb like globs floated in her six lava lamps. She replaced her accelerator pedal with a weird bare foot pedal. Her house featured peace signs, happy faces, and free love slogans. My favorite piece was a Volkswagen bus planter...

Our tribute to the eighteen year old boys who were sent to Viet Nam Was to be chill, chillin, and chillax’in as a tribute to those soon gone. We were groov’n, and groovy, beatnik style, but we called ourselves hippie. We were funky, groovy, and pretty nifty, copacetic, stoked, and thrifty. Wearing our hip hugger bellbottoms, our...

Premium Member Bras of the Seventies
Silky polka dots, paisleys, flowered bras too. Printed sweetly in the seventies, reds, and blues. Debbie had the prettiest that was the big news. Hers was rainbow in ambry, type of gentle hues. Bras were more important than any of our hairdos. Why we needed fancy, did some of us confuse. Those who did not realize free love was not a...

The 70s Kids
We are the crying children of the 70’s, not much changes inside ‘other than knowing better now ,what undoubtedly would have been the keys to the kingdom back then . We are the innocent generation of comic trusting gullibility ‘the worry of our world and blame For its care or lack of ‘now placed firmly upon...
