I was born in '64 and grew up in the 70s. 1977 was one of the greatest years of my life.

In addition to arcades being everywhere -

1. I turned 13.
2. KISS was at the height of their power and touring the world on the LOVE GUN tour. ( I was later in a KISS tribute band in my 20s)
3. Van Halen released their first album.
4. STAR WARS was released, and the #1 movie of the year.
5. Smokey and the Bandit was released (#2 movie of the year.)(I've owned 2 '77 Bandit Trans Ams).

Quoted from Rum-Z:
Man, the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I loved every one of those decades for different reasons. I had a ball for 30 whole years. I consider myself very lucky to be born when and where I was. I don't know many people from any prior generations in the entirety of human history that have had as much fun as some of us have.

Amen.

So glad we didn't grow up in the cell phone/camera age, we couldn't have gotten away with half the things we did.

Think of how jacked up things are gonna be in 40 years or so, because you KNOW all those 50+ year old guys are gonna look back at the 2010's the way we do the 1970's.....

Quoted from wolverinetuner:
I can only think of 2 pins offhand spawned by the 70s CB craze: Bally Night Rider, and that highly-sought after Wonder Wizard CB Charlie.

Picked up a little Night Rider project last summer - i think it was the waitress that got me...again...it's my 2nd one....
