What is your 70s anthem?

[Sue U]

I can't take the quiz (blocked) but in June 1976 (and probably every May/June) Alice Coppers "Schools Out" was a must play.

oldr: the band backing Lou in my clip above is actually the 1974 line-up of the Alice Cooper Band, including Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitars, Prakash John (also formerly of Funkadelic) on bass and Whitey Glan on drums. That was one hell of a band.

Can't open that either. Will do at home. Sounds like something good.

I miss the old guitar riffs of the 70's (not so much the drum solos)

Don't need the quiz. The correct answer is Bat Out Of Hell. [/thread]

in 1979 the Pittsburgh pirates came back, against the orioles, from a 3-1 deficit, to win the world series. "we are family" by sister sledge was their anthem. I still hate that song..... they may have played that Gloria gaynor tune too.... so I hate that one too, just to be safe.

What Jean-Luc said . . .

Wes, fwiw -- I was, well, in elementary school in 1979 (or was it junior high) and adored the Orioles. My whole room was covered with Os memorabilia. I was at W.S. Game 1, and watched every second of every other game with bated breath. Game 7 starting pitcher was my favorite Oriole -- Scotty McGregor -- and no one was more heartbroken than I when that game was lost. No one.

But Gloria Gaynor has nothing to do with it at all . . . .

....we were about the same age then. sister sledge and kent tekulve won it for them. he was unhittable. beat us throwing underhanded. it still hurts.

[wesw]

who s on first?

[wesw]

guin? no googling!

....we were about the same age then.

Are you different ages now?

sister sledge and kent tekulve won it for them.

The Sledge sisters couldn't have cared less about the Pirates. They were Phillies fans.

[Guinevere]

Effing Willie Stargell.

[wesw]

you don t remember everyone in riverfront stadium singing "we are family, all my people and me"

...not for the pirates. I think it was still lee may with eddie murray @DH his rookie year, but I may be wrong. wasn t 79 brooksie s last year as player/coach?

[wesw]

I don t know, but maybe doug decinces could have been playing third by then...

[wesw]

what? rich dauer?

[Guinevere]

Nope, switch that up. Eddie played first, May was the DH. Eddie was a rook in 77 not 79.

Look it up, I'm sure I'm right.

[wesw]

probably. when I was 13 I could have rattled off all the stats and records.... I spent many nights reading the backs of baseball cards. I think I read every sports bio in my local library in when I was in fourth grade.

My 70's anthem (music only)....

[Lord Jim]

Aw gee Wes, and after we had that frank discussion about this a little over a week ago, you were doing so well...

(despite all the attitude you gave me...as a parent of a teenage girl, I've learned to put a lot more stock in what's done then what's said... )

I guess I'm going to have to put you back on ignore, and go back to opening and reading your posts only when I don't see two in a row...(Not because two consecutive posts are inherently bad, but because the way you do it is...)

[wesw]

if you can stand to go without my wit and wisdom......
