Pretty much the same memories. And I'm the same age group, give or take a year.
But I was more into Blondie than Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. Hated the advent of disco. Colorful dresses and tapestries with large flowers. Jason King being a style icon. Cars that had character and could be identified by the sound of their motors. Makeup that looked like fisheyes. And most importantly pong.
I'm not American, but the things I remember about America is Nixon resigning. I was on an Italian beach when I saw the papers. The heli evacuation from the embassy in Saigon, that Jimmy Carter's brother was called silly Billy by the media, which made me and my brother laugh and the Salt negotiations in Vienna in 1979.
