Oh great, now I can't get that H.R. Puff n' Stuff (Geez I wonder what that stood for) out of my head.

How come nobody mentioned guys wearing platform shoes and blown-dried "feathered" hair? Who the hell told them that looked good?

You mean to say blown dried feathered hair is out of style? Oh Oh, I gotta go see my stylist.

lol - the theatrical emotions - emotional theatrics

...even cracked himself up

Easy there; you're stomping on my history. I had feathered hair and used a blow dryer....and I freakin' rocked it!

lol....seems so. I was born in '61 and I remember almost all of this stuff...even owned a ton of it.
Despite TT's weird thought process, this is an entertaining thread for me....just ignoring TT's odd ramblings!

Born in '64 and just a few days ago bought a GE clock radio that must be from the 70's or early 80's at any rate.
It has that fake wood finish and green tone for digital lights.

Built like a tank.
Excellent quality sound.
And is likely highly collectible by now.
For the $6 bux I spent on it in the thrift store, it beats any of the $20 plus peices of junk in any electronic department today.
And will likely out last them.

Well maybe having to explain yourself to the kids IF you were in the vid ....

ahh the 70's when chest hair, side burns and mullets were "groovy" :)

Weirdest thing about the 70s. A razor company actually advertising their razors:

Grad hi school 75. yes, had an afro. Today if I let it grow out it would look more like bozo the clown's do.
Still have and use my Track 2.
Music, Stevie wonder, Elton John, Led Zep.

Hahaha! I'm a '63 vintage. Just so happens my house radio that I'm listening to as I type,
I got when I was 12 or 13.
A Sears Electronics stereo clock radio, cheezy plastic wood finish.

The clock and alarm quite working @30 yrs. ago.
Radio is still perfect, well, as long as you don't try to do anything
stupid, like, change the channel, volume or balance.

My Mom threw it away, I saved it, my wife threw it away, I saved it,
my kidlet tossed it, I saved it.

only $6000 for a computer back in the 70's :)
