I liked the seventies too, I graduated high-school in 1980 in upstate NY. I think that people that are old enough (and I'm talking at least High School) to remember that period have an entirely different view than anyone younger- all of their 70's information has been distilled down through pop culture and is not very accurate. I also think that it was really the end of simple times in the US. People still let their kids play outside, no homework for gradeschoolers (nuts), no computers to suck up all your time. Thinking back it all seemed so slow and easy to me now. We were just kids wearing jeans and t-shirts, and contrary to popular belief the world was not full of hippies.
