You remember watching TV in black and white.
You remember when there were only 3 stations to watch.
It was a big thing to see crotch hair on a Playboy centerfold,
and even if you remember seeing "pink" from a rag called Hustler.
If you bought weed at a time when it all came from Mexico, and Oxacan was primo.
The units of exchange were called Lids, were 3/4 of an ounce and cost $10.00.
Animal House was watched more than 3 times at the Original release date.
You know and can appreciate what Zap comix was, and know who R. Crumb is.
MDA was called the Love Drug, and raves were non existent.
You can identify with the movie Dazed and Confused.
You remember hearing Oh Holy Night- sung by Mario Lanza around Christmas each year.
You've played Pong.
You've played only Pong.
keggars were a way of life for you and your kind.
Cops actually would let you slide, and dump your bags out in such a way as they knew you could come back and reclaim the weed.
You had an art teacher who was so hip, that he let you make clay bongs in class, let you organize "guitar day" in your school. spend time making the posters for same in class, and who actually
would toke with some students on occasion, and everybody sort of knew, but he wasn't fired.
Had the aforementioned art teacher that did the aforementioned things, and still had a whole new gymnasium built using his name, 20 years later.
There were Lesbians in your class, who could out-do some guys in athletics, but it was just One of Those Things that were kind natural, and nobody said too much about it.
There were exactly 3 gay guys that everyone Knew were gay, and it was no big deal. You would hang out on occasion, party, and it was no Big Deal.
Your Brother or a friends brother was in Vietnam, and had to do things like run a mini gun
on a huey and had nightmares about water buffalo and people falling in half from his gunfire.
Iggy and the stooges were not called Punk.
You wore a Political pin actually piercing your skin, like you saw the MC5 do on the inside of their album cover of the same name, with Kick Out The Jams Motherfuckers as the single.
You remember books called Papillion and Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee.
Who Erica Jong was.
Who Susan Sontag was
That Burt Reynolds was the first male centerfold for women.
The hysteria over the movies, The Exorcist, Jaws, and ET and Star Wars.
And who Tanya Tucker was.
Doctors would prescribe you Desoxyns.
And Preludins.
And Bi-phetimine 20's. (black beauties)
There were tons of ads for ephedrine and pseudoephidrine pills in skin mags, to make meth with.
Colombian weed coming in to the market in the 70's and being outraged at paying $20.00
an ounce.
Seeing a thing called "sinsemilla" hitting the market in the '80's and being outraged it cost 30.00 an ounce.
You remember a beverage labeled just Beer in white cans, or called Buckhorn which would provide suds for you and your friends to imbibe when smoking the aforementioned pot.
You could go to drive ins on Friday nights, and everyone who attended the Keggars would also be there for grade B movies and sex, but from many different school districts.
You could but a Mountain Dew, a pack of Viceroys, and a Snickers, and still get change from a dollar.
You could go to a pawnshop and buy an American made used guitar from 40 to 500 dollars.
I could go on, but you get the general Idea.
