| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71030344 United States04/25/2020 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I graduated in 76, and that was my best year. After that, everything went downhill, I think I was getting 2.35$ per hour cooking at Big Boys. Around 78, the financial system started to fall apart with 16% interest on CD's with high inflation; Volker called it STAGFLATION. Plus, by this time, unemployment started to skyrocket and stayed that way all the way through the 1980's were minimum wage held around 3.35$ hour ( you couldnt find a decent job). The 80's were the death of the Good Times as things started to change for the worse. Unless you remember how good things were in the 1960's to Mid 70's, you have no reference. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77952124 United States04/25/2020 10:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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! Quoting: John Titor 911 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. Giorgio Morodor's "Midnight Express Theme," from the movie and also "Coast To Coast A.M.'s" theme, since 1989! Ok..ok..here she is... |

The cool evening breeze blows away the last remaining summer heat, while carrying the live rendition of a tune that far outshines the album version you heard so many times before.

Intro show beginnings of yuppie lifestyle, feminism, eco consciousness/back to nature, gentrification (upscale neighborhood), multiculturalism (black kid), space travel/futurism, educated classes (classical music store). Depopulation also because hardly any residents in Boulder?? I never cared for Robin Williams so did not watch. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78843303 Hong Kong04/26/2020 01:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was only 8 in the ‘78 living the perfect middle class life surrounded by white people. We weren’t rich but our lifestyle was nice: we travelled and swam at a country club. I was a Girl Scout. Every week we went to a meeting center that had a special metal gate; once I went on a vision quest on the empty field next to it. I ate hamburgers everyday for dinner and milk with “instant breakfast” chocolate powder for breakfast. Halloween was big. My sister and next door neighbor boyfriend dressed like witches (maybe for fun)and my mom took pics with her Pentax of them seated at the top of the ladder in the loft room. Every day was so much fun, who knew how shitty the future was gonna be!
