Weird and Obscure Things from the 60s and 70s that you remember .
I remember in the summer of ‘70, I was a young teen and I got box from my friend full of random stuff. In it, there was this 8-track cartridge.
I had a deck in my room so needless to say, I listened to it quite a few times, almost wore out the tape.

I don’t know what happened to the cartridge, was probably thrown out. I Never thought I would see or hear about it ever again, then a thread here a few days ago mentioned something about them. I stared searching the web and was able to track down and get the name of the one I had.

Even more surprising, I discovered someone uploaded it online in great quality. I still remember that same artwork. It brings back a lot of memories listening to it now in my old age.

I'm so old, I remember when I was 4 years old and

I got the flu.

Doctor showed up, at our home to treat me.

I remember my mom asking him something and he said

"you'll have to come to my office now, we're not

doing house calls anymore. We are all having offices

and you'll have come to see us now...".


I'll never for get that...

I remember playing in a Denver city park on fourth of July in 1976, I was six, and it was full of people. Not a smart phone to be seen anywhere.

Telephone party lines (where multiple homes shared a single telephone line).

Jimmy Carter fake Energy Crisis (where he told us we were running out of gasoline, energy, etc.)
- Long gas lines due to Government created fuel shortages.
- Forced speed governors installed on state/federal vehicles to prevent going over 50 mph to conserve gasoline.
- Forced electric Blackouts and Brownouts (based on fake Energy Crisis).
- Of course, after Ronald Reagan was elected, the fake Energy Crisis totally disappeared.

Fake Swine Flu epidemic.

Being able to get your own checking and savings account when you were a child, without an adult.

Being able to obtain a credit card and auto insurance under the age of 18.

Being able to buy cigarettes as a child (any age).

Paying for an airline ticket in cash with no ID required.

Being able to legally buy alcohol at the age of 18 and it was always legal if your parents served you alcohol (any age).

Every summer when I was kid, my old man would load us all up in my mother's Ford Country Squire station wagon and take a trip to Florida for a week's vacation.

On the trip back, we would always stop at a road side stand and buy a baby alligator.

Of course, they don't survive too well in the Midwest.
