What time period would you live in, and where, if you had to for one year?

[V.C. Brunswick]

And watch some of the old episodes of The Tonight Show and the ugly '70s suits Johnny and Ed wore. Not to mention Frank Sinatra in a leisure suit!

 

[loosebolts]

1914-1918. watch the world around me, then retreat to Caribbean and write about it.

Yes, the horror!

An incredible era of carnage that many of us have little knowledge of.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Yes, the horror!

Yes but Frank made the leisure suit swing.
Rickles is dressed conservatively.
Well except the mile wide tie.
I have a Carson box set, and some of the styles are hilarious.
Especially Burt Reynolds in a leather suit.
Oh I bet that was nice and cool under the NBC lights. :eeek:

The Leisure suit made him look ridiculous!
Rickles looks ridiculous wearing blue with brown. :doh:
Yeah wearing all that oil must have stunk.

Name one!

TOE, my guess is James has an aversion to the 70's for a reason.
That reason could be, that he dropped a cigar on a polyester shirt, and realized polyester is flammable.

 

[Widebrim]

Name one!

That's a set-up; anything he names you'll disagree with...Not all the music from the seventies was disco, or...HIPPIE.

As much as I feel that the seventies ushered in the downfall of Man where concerned with style and fashion, I have found there to be some good music from the time period (Thin Lizzy), it is sadly out shined by the crap that is the seventies.

Of course, but that is the reason for a response and wherein lies the entertainment.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Did that with a pipe once. That was the end of that shirt.

I bet you've never set a "rubber" collar on fire.

Ok then name one and make sure it isn't anything from your revered Tavares. :rofl:

Why were you wearing a shirt made of that material in the first place?! :doh:

Post a video of it. I have never heard of it----likely for good reason. :rofl:

Polyester is itchy and nasty. I wouldn't wear it much less smoke anything with it on. lol lol

I agree it was itchy. I had a uniform made from it for a few years.
Maybe I need to look at vintage cotton shirts.
Here is a link of the song btw.

So, to solve the mystery, what kind of music do you like?
Don't tell me it involves bubbles, and a man that had his own tv show.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

No, sir.

I bet you've never set a "rubber" collar on fire.

Some of the not-so-insanely-sized collars of the seventies are flattering to my build lol

Ok, that song stinks worse than I thought it would. I can live with Sharp Dressed Man but that is REALLY bad. ZZ Top doesn't do Van Halen very well.:rofl:

They made collars like that?! I didn't see any then.....:doh:
