Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

[Lincsong]

I can't believe she hasnt been mentioned yet or has she?... Farah Fawcett and her hairstyle!... I mean, the 70s without her is inconceivable! LOL

About the only good thing I find about the 70's. Thanks Hadley.

It wasn't Jimmy Carter's fault. I blame...

Carter was full of beans! Don Knotts is my hero! There needs to be more Don Knotts in the world! Sure would be a nicer place.

I just meant the leisure suited character of Mr.Furley, of course. I've enjoyed laughing at Don Knotts since I was a kid (and that was a loooong time ago). Oh, and I think it was peanuts, not beans.

I think the best Tv was made in the 70's think of Sonny and cher, Carole Burnett, Kojak, Angie Dickinson in policewoman, The night Stalker

And don't forget "What's Happening!" Nobody could say "Fool!" like Shirley...

It's always amused me how much of an hippy icon status R.Crumb had despite the fact that he hated rock music and he spent just as much time and energy crafting brutal satires of the hippy lifestyle as he did the so-called "straights". He didn't mind the fawning attentions of young hippy girls, of course. My current favorite Crumb quote: "Your zest for life appalls me". Brilliant guy.

Didn't he draw the picture of the young lady getting on the bus, and I wont reproduce it here, 'you're such a creep ant nee"...." come on loretta.........."

To this day, when anyone gets out of line, my buddies say, 'your such a creep ant nee'

I'm not sure which one you're referring to. Can you PM me the image or a link?
Possibly one of the greatest things about Crumb is his honesty and his willingness to offend anyone. He levels his pen at everyone, including himself.

Marc hit that nail square on the head. I am proud to say that not one inch of Kansas did I give up to the NVA or the VC.

It's funny how some fads and fashions remain in a good light but others become the antithesis of good taste later on and you get to say: What were they/we thinking?!!!"[huh]

I swear Jon Cryer on 2 1/2 Men is the Don Knotts of his generation!

 

[jamespowers]

later on and you get to say: What were they/we thinking?!!!"[huh]

In summary, that was the 1970s.

R. Crumb and the vintage genesis!

It's always amused me how much of an hippy icon status R.Crumb had despite the fact that he hated rock music and he spent just as much time and energy crafting brutal satires of the hippy lifestyle as he did the so-called "straights". He didn't mind the fawning attentions of young hippy girls, of course. My current favorite Crumb quote: "Your zest for life appalls me". Brilliant guy.

R. Crumb was a member of the very first vintage -dressed retro band, the Cheap Suit Serenaders. They all wore 1920s and 30s vintage onstage.

For those of you in the Bay Area, who know him, Jon Lundberg of Lundberg Haberdashery fame, is an original member.
Cheap Suit is actually playing around now and then, reviving a revival!

I sat on the plane next to a sweaty, fat man wearing cheap cologne and a velour jogging suit. On the flight back home he was on the same flight but in a different jogging suit. Thank God he didn't sit next to me.
