What Happened in the Seventies? |
|
When we think of social changes in the 20th century, we usually focus on the 60's. Indeed, the seeds of massive social change were planted in the 60's, and we saw some of the changes begin. But if you want to know how it all cut loose, you need to look at the 70s. It was absolutely nuts! For you scholars and would-be freaks and geeks, you can take our 70s Quiz to test your knowledge of what happened in the 70s. And when you're done there, you can read the 70s Story, our description of that "far out" decade.
Beyond that, we have several features at BBHQ that span the boomer years. We taper off at the end of the 70s, however. The later part of the 70s was far less interesting; we leave that to the Gen-X'ers.

Please help us by buying stuff through our link to Amazon.com:
| The BBHQ Feature Album is "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," by Simon & Garfunkel. If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert in 2003, I do not have to sell you. The concert was terrific! This album collection includes 55 songs, plus their new recording, "Citizen of the Planet," and one of the songs sung by the Everly Brothers during the concert. The DVD was recorded during their concert in Madison Square Garden in 2003. For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you? |

The BBHQ Feature Book is
"The 5000 Year Leap," by
W. Cleon Skousen. The title does not
adequately identify the content, though the concept of the 5,000 year
leap is astounding. The subtitle, Principles of Freedom 101, is
much more applicable to the subject. This book carefully and clearly
summarizes the thinking of the brilliant founding fathers of our country,
the ideas behind the "miracle that changed the world."
