Summers of the 1970s
Children of the 70s, influenced by serial killers, religious cults, open sexuality, drugs, rock and roll, and changing social roles; we were defined by long hair, shirtless boys, barefoot girls, concerts, skating, and summers of excessive fun.
While we're in the cold season, I figured I'd share some of the taste of the 1970s summers for nostalgia to add to this month of vintage para sentimental memories. Hopefully, it will remind us of why we were so very individual compared to past generations. We could be rockers, stoners, artists, philosophers, disco queens, and anything in between!
Enjoy!
