i thought the work f k would have come out differently oops   of course the seventies were a bit wild just before all the record labels became freer and anyone could start their own label.  before that it was all the big ones had the music industry all tied up and   the number 1984 still meant something where as now we living in it lmao   maybe im tooooo old and toooo cynical

Never as good as the advert showed but what is?

well there was magpie, play away the magic roundabout Bob dylan came to england and I saw him three times black bush festival and london qued up all night for tickets slept on the pavement.   there was monte python, startrek with captain kirk   the partridge family   sat in the tree top all day long rocking and a rolling and singing this song all the little birdies go tweet tweet tweet   because your mine i walked the line   and there was the fantastic leonard cohen who i am listening to still today   vicious you hit me with a flower.. you do it very hour you o viscious   we can be heroes just for one day   its the music                                                                                                                                                                                     

What I remember most is:   You wore long nylon dresses to parties.   Tartan Bitter - my dad always drank that at Xmas   1974 - The first Mc Donalds opening up in Woowich, SE London (near where I live)   The Silver Jubilee - Big reinactment we did at school...   I know there's lots more if I think harder...  Now I know I'm getting older when an original Chopper bicycle is worth a bit!
