We were so much more a classy society than today.

If you look at the responses on Facebook these days about girls sitting on car most of the are complaining about them sitting on the cars with attitudes of "How dare her sit on that car". laugh2

They were just cars. We did a lot more than sit on them. smoke

I remember sitting on the hood of my '73 Roadrunner with my GF (wife now) & laying back against the windshield & star gazing. This was around 1978. What great times. Always jamming to BOC.- we still love their music - so do my daughters.

Fast forward to now..........Girls got fatter and the metal got thinner.

I just watched it again. Life was every bit as good & fun as it seemed in the pics. So again I ask - what happened? WHY did we ruin such a good thing?

Absolutely not. No one sat on or even leaned on my car back in the 70's(this was HS). I worked way to hard for what I had.


Ok

A collage of whims
In general terms, people were slimmer then and obesity was uncommon. Likely because folks were more active and ate real food, instead of the processed crap.
Manual labor was more common, too - people weren't sitting in front of computers all day.
Tattoos were things you'd see on Veterans, more so if they were Navy or fought overseas - and they might have one or two.
Facial hair came into vogue for the most part in the '70s - wasn't all that common beforehand.
The "surfer chicks" and "hippie chicks" we had around SoCal in that era were pretty cute - the teased hair was more of an East Coast thing.
Bear in mind I was a middle-class suburban white kid in that era.
So going to the races, the beach, concerts, movies, playing poker with the "cool Dad" across the street, and cruising (all night for $5.00) were our pastimes.
But for me, from the mid-'50s through early '70s was a great era. I also had a great time during the '80s through early aughts, but there was a tinge to the general atmosphere.
When the heavier drugs moved in, that put borders on the general care-free vibe.
A lot changes for us when we become responsible adults with bills & real worries, right ?

If you look at the responses on Facebook

There is the problem!!! They shut down Napster but the social media sites multiply. Not on any social media site, Nor will i visit any! Wish they would shut them ALL down! Don't see what's the attraction? Now kids call names and threaten people there instead of face to face. Then they wonder why the cops are knocking on their door. They have no clue what it was like before the internet/smart phones. Take a phone away from a kid today and they think the world is going to come to an end!
