I have a complicated relationship with the 1970s

On one hand, the '70s were full of some fun music and glorious cheese and flamboyant, loud graphic design (if not aesthetics in general)

On the other hand, Brutalist architecture is hard to love and the Saturday morning cartoons mostly turned to shit

You're right, the 1970's were irredeemably bad.

So I don't understand why Evel Knievel was ever a thing.

Like, you wait all day in a hot sweaty stadium to see a guy jump over some burning trucks, or whatever, and then it's over in less than ten seconds, and you're done.

"Hey, nice shirt. 1974 called and--"

"Tell her I moved on, dammit. She can't keep calling me. I have a fiancee now, for pete's sake"

If nothing else, I miss the technology of the time. I grew up reading about old analog and hybrid analog/digital stuff, and you don't see a lot of that anymore.

Everybody knows music achieved perfection in 1971.

no music achieved perfection when Viper dropped "You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack"

that's just a bit of flukey genius from later on
