those 70's memories
i get a lot of forwarded emails every now and then, but the one i got last week kind of hit some nerves. it was a powerpoint file showcasing the circa 70s. you see, i was not really fond of those years mainly because they remind me of my childhood which i didn't really enjoy. i grew up in an apartment in manila with my grandma, and she was so strict i wasn't allowed to go out of the house to play. heck, i didn't even know the names of the kids living next door. but don't get me wrong, i truly love my grandma, who's now resting in peace. anyway, my only source of entertainment at that time was the television and listening to the neighboring restaurant's jukebox (i could hear the music playing all the way to my room!) blaring all kinds of music from morning 'til about midnight. yes, all kinds of music from folk to rock to pop, you name it. these must be the reasons why years later, whenever i hear a 70s song, it made me cringe.
but time heals wounds, still, as the song goes. just lately, and reinforced by the email sent to me, i am beginning to love the music of the 70s. i realized how beautiful the lyrics are and the melodies are so heartfelt. i bombarded the net last night and found some pretty memorable 70s songs, mostly in youtube. i couldn't find mp3s, but i'll keep on looking.
meanwhile here are some interesting 70s photos. check out the fashion, hairstyle and the komiks!
