How much you wanna bet these styles make a comback too at some point
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

My fondest memories of the era actually start in '69. Sitting around the new color TV and watching the grainy B&W videos from the Moon. Impossible to describe the sense of pride and wonder.

Born in '65.... OMFG, the memories of riding with Mom to Sears at back-to-school time to pick up the catalog mail-order Toughskins "dungarees" in husky-size and in red...

Jeebuz.

In `71 I was wearing a pair of handmade, 17 " top boots that were sent over from Momasan that a friend of mine helped out in Nam. The chicks loved em and they kept your toes toasty while you had your knees in the breeze hanging on to the apes. :)
