I Miss 1978; I WANT IT BACK AGAIN, NOW!!!
I was 14 years old, embarking on the PRIME of my life (which, thank GOD, I am still in) and, what can I say, it simply was one of THE BEST ERAS to be a young adult or adult!

I was an EXTREMELY PRECOCIOUS child, very much advanced for my age in both physical and mental growth. I was ALREADY getting served alcohol, in bars and liquor stores at age 12! Not that that's bad or good, it just was. I was already 5'11" tall then! I have friends who to this day still do not understand how I did it. Suffice it to say that I was a responsible kid as well and did not overindulge. I would buy beer for other, much older 18 year olds, since alcohol was restricted to 21 year olds in my state then, but not now.

I lived the dance era known as "the disco era," which as most of us healthy guys saw it as "a chance to score with chicks." That's why young men and old men alike braved the shaky social risk of actually wearing the correct garb, going to a disco-theque then, with one's girlfriend on their arm AND DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY.

It was a lot of fun.

I miss it.

Every generation misses it's heydey.

1978 was mine.

That's all.

Yep, 1976 the bicentennial year, and 1977. All of the best rock bands did those huge stadium tours called the Super Bowl of Rock. I saw every one here in Chicago at Soldier Field. Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll Baby!

Re: I Miss 1978; I WANT IT BACK AGAIN, NOW!!!
The real question is, if you COULD go back, would you make the same choices and mistakes? I divorced my ex after over 30 years of marriage. I would like to say I wouldn't give the ass the time of day. But then I wouldn't have my two children, whom I love dearly. So I would probably do the same thing all over again.

1977 was my best year. Smoked SO much weed, saw Pink Floyd in Concert in Tampa Stadium, BEST CONCERT I EVER SAW. I met most of my friends for life. First Girlfriend, first date, STAR WARS! Those were great days.

I was in my twenties in 1978. It was not a good time. No jobs, not even in gas stations and quick stop marts. Interest rates were huge. We used to have to decide between gas for the junk car or groceries, and that was with two adults working full time jobs.

No thanks. We have lots of problems today but I would not go back in the 1970's for anything. You were a child and your parents covered your expenses. And you probably had good parents too.

70's even the best concerts by the best bands ever you could get a ticket for less than $10. You could just about walk in smoking a joint, no pat down security, just hand them your ticket. Security would leave everyone alone as long as they didn't get out of hand and the music was off the charts. Led Zep tic = $7.00 And I won't even mention the fuking cars that were out then.

The best times. Since then my hs sweetheart died from diabetes, my hs best friend died of a heart attack. My parents are gone. 1978 was a year of drinking dancing Saturday Night Fever and great schools with solid teachers. If I could do it again I would have gone to a great school and been a geneticist.

Kids in high school now get a third of the education we got then. There is no going back and to me their future is half as good as ours had the potential to be.
