That 70s Thread

Jet · 11-17-2009, 04:45 PM

I fell in love at 16 with a girl from another school. It ended in heartbreak when she told her parents about us and then went off to Vermillion to college. I drove a '66 cherry red Mustang my senior year and discovered the late Richard Brautigan. I smoked hash, did speed and mescalin and I went to the gay bar underaged every Saturday night until "Tank" the bouncer found out and banned us. It was a dark, seedy basement bar called "The Cave" and I always swore that if there was ever a fire, you'd never die from the blaze, you'd die from being trampled by queens in their high heels.

Some of the best times for me were in the 70s with great friends and concerts and parties. On my 30th reunion, I "outed" myself and no one batted an eye.

Isn't the passage of time amazing? Below, me at 16 and 52.

I was that folkie chick that hung out with the band geeks and the NHS nerds. I wore clogs and love beads and wished I'd been born early enough to participate in the 60's. (missed it by thatmuch and was born in '61).

I was a Harry Chapin groupie as much as I could be (went to three or four concerts) and cried the day he died (8/18/85 in case anyone cares.) I spent my summers jumping off a rope into the bayou or canoeing down that same bayou by myself to read books.

The 70's were Steely Dan and Linda Rondstadt. I'm still a folkie chick at heart.

Went to dances and concerts wearing
tie-dyed shirts and studs down my elephant bells
I remember smokin' hash and drinking
Bartels & James on a hot summer night listening to:
