Question......what was the best decade for you, ya know, political, energy, economy,

[a kennedy]

music, movies, love life??? I loved the music of the 70’s, don’t remember much else......just graduated from high school in 1969. and no jokes about that......seriously. I only loved the music back then. I don’t really remember much else, oh wait, Vietnam.....ugh, I did march quite often against that damn war. Was married, and divorced in 4 years....don’t really remember much else, oh one of my favorite friends at work was a Black woman with an Afro hair style that made me, ol’ whitie get a type of Afro too. 🥰 loved it. Had my first joint, love it, and smoke a bowl or two today.......only on weekends. Other then that I really don’t remember much of the 70’s.

1. 80s

I was in my mid 20s to mid 30s, my career had solidified, I moved into management, I was playing in some VERY active bands.
I'd play 2 or nights, get home Sunday morning at 4am, still easily be at work by 7 on Monday. Loads of energy.
I was in much better shape, could still play basketball, and our social life was full.
90s were still good & very active, but in the 80s I wasn't yet traveling intensely for work. It was a fun period.

2. Good to hear.....

Sounded like you had a great life, hope it’s still the case, and good shape??? me too back then, not like today...

3. I'm Not In Terrible Shape, But,...

...nothing like back then. I was slim (37" chest/29" waist). I'm not shaped like that anymore!
I could play rec league basketball & not start sweating until I was on the floor 10 minutes.
I think it would take 10 seconds now. But, healthwise I'm ok. Or so I think!

6. Late 60s

Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Hollies, Tremelos, Lulu and Motown. Black light posters. Fell hard in love for the first time. Lived in a dorm as a freshman on an Air Force Base in England. Class of 72. In my freshman yearbook (68-69) a popular Senior Coed (Class of 69) wrote, You’re kinda cute for a freshmen, kinda too cute. That still does it to me to this day. Whenever I think of that short period in my life I’m in a happy place. Had lots of good times, but that was the best.

7. Damn.....so jealous of that for you...."kinda too cute" Wow.....and class of 69....ya kinda like me....

But didn’t that music start and give way to the 70’s music???

8. The music was an incredible evolution

From early 60s through the 70s. I think somewhat seamless but the seams started unraveling in the 80s. I do appreciate Sirius XM. Pick an oldies channel, push a button.

In 69 there was about 50 pounds less of me but I did have a full head of hair back then. My wife of 50 years still thinks I’m cute, wrinkles and all. Great topic, thanks for the memories.
