There is so much junk nowadays that I can seriously live without, such as iPods, cell phones, and bad rap music. The rap music back then was actually GOOD, Funk, or Reggae, whatever you called it. :-) I can't recall a single song from the 70s in which a hoe was shot dead on the street. This is why I listen to rock... I LOVE YOU, AC/DC!!!

Who doesn't wish for the simpler life of decades past?

I've seen a lot of 70s and 80s culture (more than the I Love the Decades specials have featured) and it has its ups and downs. While they did give us Star Wars, Led Zeppelin, MTV, etc., there are also certain items I've looked upon with raised eyebrows, such as Xanadu, "Disco Duck" and a number of shows from two people named Sid and Marty Krofft. Plus I'm not sure if I could survive without the Internet.

It's a nice era to visit, but I wouldn't want to live then.
