BLOGGING FROM A TO Z
A 1970’s Time Capsule
Imagine that on December 31, 1979, a group of historians decide to bury a time capsule filled with news events and pop culture phenomena that were symbols of the 1970’s.
What would be in this decades old time capsule?
You are about to find out because for some reason unknown to anyone but these historians, the time capsule is scheduled to be unearthed on April Fools Day, 2016. I know you’re curious. Are you ready for a far out and groovy trip around the 1970’s? You cool cats come back on each of the 26 days where I will blog one or two posts covering two broad categories:
News and Noteworthy – People or events that had a lasting impact on the world in the 1970’s.
Pop Culture – The personalities, music, film, television, fashion, cars and toys that made up our world in the 1970’s.
Is there a subject you hope I include? Stop back starting April 1st for news and noteworthy such as Vietnam, Kent State, Nixon, Iran Hostages, Patty Hearst, Roe vs Wade, Three Mile Island, VCRs and floppy disks or Entertainment such as All in the Family, M*A*S*H, Disco, Saturday Night Live, Star Wars, Sesame Street, Monty Pythons and the Sony Walkman. I’ll also include some posts about fashion. I’m turning back time but you’re really going to dig it. Catch you on the flip side.
Why not go visit the others on the linky list to find out what sort of posts you can look forward to elsewhere.

The 70s – ah the memories. It was all very unserious for me, being under 10 at the time, so I look forward to seeing some of the things I didn’t notice when living through the decade the first time 🙂

Oh groovy! I’m super psyched for the far out trip back to the seventies. The 80’s was my era so I’m really looking forward to learning all about the the cool 70’s. I know everyone equates cool with the 60’s, but I’m way more intrigued with the 70’s. I can’t wait to learn about the political corruption, music, fashion and all the other surprises you have in store for us. And I will get to view it with a clear head, I won’t be tripping on any psychedelic drugs that many people in the 70’s experimented with. So lucky for me, I will get to remember all of your fun and informative posts. Can’t wait for the April fool’s day fun to begin. I’m number 244 on the theme reveal list if you get a chance to stop by.
