Tk Photos Showing the '70s Were Not Strait Laced
The seventies happened 50 years ago, when the internet wasn't even an idea in science fiction books. So, people who were born during the internet era might think it was boring all the time. Those who lived through the energy crisis and Vietnam War know that nothing can be farther from the truth, because disco took over the world and everyone knew how to dress to kill almost effortlessly.
It's hard to think that your dad and your grandpa were going to the disco to dance until the sun came up, but it happened, it's true. So, here are some photos showing the '70s were not as straitlaced as many people think they were.
