To sum up, the '70s seems impossible —
so much happened in this decade. We started this incredible
decade in 1970 which marked the deaths of Janis Joplin, Jimmy
Hendrix, Jim Morrison, who all die at the age of 27. The decline
of psychedelic music, the Beatles broke up and recorded their
last album, Let it Be. We saw the birth and quick demise of the
Disco era, its music and fashion.
Who can forget those iconic movies, The
Godfather, Godfather II, The Deer Hunter, The Exorcist,
Superman, Star Wars, and all time classic, American Graffiti
just to name a few.
It was a decade that changed America as
we knew it. Vietnam, Watergate dominated the early seventies,
the oil embargo of the middle seventies which gave us our first
gas crisis, there was no shortage of political and economic
turmoil and unrest.
If you grew up and went to Lynbrook in
the 1970’s, How can you not remember these iconic times.
