I turned 18, graduated HS, and could buy beer. I saw Jaws and the Frampton "Comes Alive" tour in the summer, and The Who with Mooney in November. Good year!
With all its darkness, i wouldn’t trade the ‘70’s for anything today can offer. What a great decade to have experienced. Especially the music. And people’s attitudes were different too. We laughed at ourselves…alot. 😂 i miss those days
In 1975 I was 14 years old. I'll always remember my father sitting in font of the TV shaking his head. Being in my early teens I just went out and hung out with my friends. Now as an adult and see what's going on I feel his pain.😢
Me too ... Buckingham Virginia... It was a great year for me and my family ... Gas was cheap, we were coming out of the oil-embargo years, Vietnam, though a failure, was over ...
1975 - Graduated high school, The Vietnam War had just ended so my classmates wouldn't be going, saw the Rolling Stones in concert with Billy Preston as the opening act, read & saw Jaws - hard to get my little sister into the water that summer, started college - great year!
I knew the guy on the roof of the embassy helping people onto the choppers. He was a Fire Chief in Oregon when he got home. I got out of school in '77, logged in the western forests and became a fireman. Those were the days of great bands and sad stories. Peace and goodwill to all in the New Year!
1975 - Graduated high school. Attended Led Zeppelin's North American Tour in Philly with a co-worker--first time hearing their song, Kashmir. Saw Jaws and had no problem going down the shore afterward.
I was 16 in 1975 and I can remember all of those things but still it was a good year for me we lived in north east Arkansas I got my frist car my driver license and a real job even all those bad things went on it was a good year and one I will remember for ever.
I was 20 in 1975.. I remember all of this.. BTW I wasn't afraid to go into the ocean.. 1975 wasn't all bad.. Concert tickets were $5.00 up to $10.00.. The worst year before 9/11 was 1968..
Jamel- one thing that I`d like you to know ( besides you being a good human being ) is that I like how you introduce your vids is that you keep it short & sweet . " We aint goin` to waste no mo time....lets get into this " Love the the way you do it all my man !!!!!
I love that about him too. No long babbling at the beginning like some reactors do. I’ve seen one movie reaction channel where the couple literally spent about 40 minutes total yakking and it was usually about something they were clueless about. A lot of the comments were negative because they talk too much and they didn’t seem to know what they were talking about. I never watched their full reaction as I could tell it would be a waste of time. Our Jamel gives a short introduction and his comments at the end. He straight to the point.
I was also 14 in ‘75, and like the other poster, was enjoying my teen years playing drums and rocking out! It was the year that Rush’s second album came out, “ Fly By Night” and I was hooked! But growing up outside of D.C. and having older bros and sisters, we were well aware of the political and (some) social turbulence that was going on. Thanks for all your time and work on your channel Jamal, we all appreciate you and wishing you the best t’24 dude! 👍❤️🥁🎼
Saw it in the theater at 7 years old!!! Absolutely terrified with nightmares to follow. No ocean for me for a couple years. Just the sight of the ocean always reminds me of sharks.
I was 8 years old that year, and remember most of this stuff. Definitely keep doing these videos. I love both Recollection Road and Rhetty for History videos. You should go back and start with whichever year they started with, and just come forward in time until you catch up.
I graduated from high school and turned 18. It was an amazing time. I loved it. Got a job with Western Electric, remember them, They also hired many guys returning from Vietnam. Boy oh boy the stories they told. The drinking age was 18 in my state and I took advantage of that. Saw my first pocket calculator.. Went to a Grand Funk Railroad concert,
1976 i was 8 and rode in my towns 4th of july bicentennial parade, with my bike all decked out in red white and blue streamers. it was one of the moments in my life i felt the most proud.. i miss the 1970s. they seemed so innocent compared to now where everything is either jaded or toxic or outright false.
I turned two years old in March of 1975. I honestly have a few memories from that age. I would give anything to go back to my childhood and spend some time. It was the best.
I was 17 and started college that fall. What I remember the most from the news that year was the two-week period in April when the North Vietnamese and Vietcong broke through and headed southwards capturing one town after another and finally swept into Saigon. Among the most popular musicians that year: Led Zeppelin, Queen, Abba, KC & the Sunshine Band, Elton John, David Bowie. There was lots of great music on the radio - current stuff plus from the early 70s and the 60s.
I was 20 in 75, was working in the oilfield. This was just life, we had been through the draft which stopped in 73. I watch our military come home being spit on, which was just wrong. Everything was just life. Look at 2021, 2022 bad things happened. Live in the desert and have no want for a ocean. Why Springsteen when Pink Floyd had the #1 Album Wish you were here and I seen Lynyrd Skynyrd 75.
Was born in 96 and would love to have seen what life was like in the 70s. Very different in some ways from today's world. The music then was awesome. Love the music. I have an entire 70s music playlist that i listen to very often. i just checked what the most popular song of 1975 was and it was Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together."
Saw Jaws and was in a “land locked lake” the next week. Being in the water waiting for the boat to come back after falling off skis was, to say the least, frightening. Even though sharks obviously were not in that type of water. The view angle while in the water was identical to the movie in water angles.
1975 is at the outer fringes of my memory, I was born in 1972. The only thing on here I remember very clearly is seeing the poster for Jaws while in the movie theater and not being allowed to see it. I had to wait until I was 6, and to this day, it's one of my favorite movies. 1981 was a crazy year. We had just lost John Lennon in December of 1980, then President Regan and Pope John Paul were both shot, and Prince Charles and Diana got married.
I graduated from high school in 1975 and saw “Jaws” that summer. The timeline videos come from the news, and then, like now, news outlets focus more on terrible events than anything positive. Watching this would make you think 1975 was a horrific year, but it was no worse or better than any other year.
In 1975 I was a junior in high school, I remember my dad telling my brother that year younger than me he would have to register for the draft, along with my other two younger brothers, in 1980 my youngest brother registered for the draft and I think that might have been the end of drafting, none of my brothers were called to duty.
I was 13 when Jaws came out. Didn't get back into the ocean for 10 years. I couldn't even take a bath after watching Jaws, it was showers only for years. That's called trauma!
Wow, I was 5 until September, my first year of grammar school. The biggest memory I have was the birth of my sister that November. A lot of movies I saw were at the drive-in.
75, big blizzars in January or February, graduated high school, our band trip 5hat year was Rapid City South Dakota, Banff Canada was discussed but they decided not to do 2 bigs trips so close together(Feb 74 Mardi Gras in New Orleans) VietNam and the draft was over before i turned 18. I think it was the summer i saw Kansas in concert, started at Iowa State. Could have been the year the Des Moines police station was bombed too.
1975...15 yrs old , high school...obviously 🙄. Mid 70s...great decade for sure. Remember "Jaws" in theaters...sold out like crazy. Memory not great now but loved the year...👍🇨🇦💖
The year I got my drivers license. My dad got me a 69 Mustang. In our town, cruising Main St was where we all spent our summer nights. If you went on a date, it just might be watching a double header at the drive in. 😉
1975 is the year I graduated from college, with a degree in Music Education. Not easy to find teaching jobs in the Arts then. I ended up working a bunch of part-time teaching jobs my first year out of college. "We're gonna need a bigger boat!" Jaws was amazing for the time. Bruce was born and raised in my state, NJ. SNL was great back then. I guess those type of videos are always going to show the bad things that happen, as those were what made the news. Too bad.
I turned 8 that October and don't remember seeing "Jaws." My parents probably wouldn't let me watch it. And I just realized I don't remember my first time seeing the ocean!
In the still Picture from "one flew over the Coocoo's nest, Seated behind Jack was the actor Christopher Lloyd, how went on to TV Fame in "Taxi", then Again on the Big Screen in "Back to the Future"! The Second Actor with the Dark Hair was Vincent Schiavelli, a Fantastic Character actor that played in "Ghost" and "Batmen Returns (The Monkey Grinder)"
“This was a wild and crazy year” tell me about it, that was the year i was born lol. For me personally i feel proud of having been born the same year Queen released Bohemian Rhapsody and Led Zeppelin released Kashmir. I’ve always felt something special about my year and as my niece told me once, she said “you were born in the coolest year uncle, i mean think about it, there’s even a band named the 1975”.
The 70s were my formative years. Lots went on during that decade. I was living in Chattanooga then and graduated High School in 74 and went into the Army in 75. Hoffa went missing, but he had a Chattanooga connection. Hoffa's 1964 federal trial for jury tampering and conviction in Chattanooga put the Scenic City in the national spotlight, even as the Beatles were taking America by storm that spring. "If you're in the legal community, it's the biggest-ever Chattanooga trial," according to Maury Nicely, local attorney and author of "Hoffa in Tennessee." "This was a time when the president of the Teamsters was widely regarded as the second most powerful man - behind the president - in the United States. I remember a new Z-28 Camaro was $5,400, cigarettes were around $0.50 a pack, gas had went from $0.32 to $0.50 a gallon. We all thought the price of gas was outrageous! Led Zeppelin released Physical Graffiti, Aerosmith released Toys In The Attic (Walk This Way, Sweet Emotions), 10cc's I'm Not In Love (I love that song!), Jeff Beck released Blow By Blow (what a great album!), David Bowie released Fame, Earth Wind and Fire with Shining Star, Foghat with Fool For The City, to name a few great tunes during the year. They didn't mention Ms. Fromme's better known name of Squeaky. Patty Hearst becomes Most Wanted and is arrested for armed robbery. The Unemployment Rate in the US reaches 9.2% and recession is recognized by President Ford. Race relations (at least in the south) were terrible. Chattanooga had just emerged from race riots, and the situation remained touchy for several years. There are still some areas where a black man shouldn't go at night, and some places I wouldn't go at night. Sadly, there is usually at least one shooting there every day now. It was a great place to grow up (mostly), but it's all changed now and it's so violent. It's really sad. I could go on and on, but that's enough to get the picture. It was an interesting time to be alive. Greg in TN 😀
1975...I delayed entry in the Army...March...graduated highschool June...went to basic training at Fort Polk LA July 31...turned 18 while in basic in September. ONEHELLOFAYEAR. I'll never forget it!
1968 was a very bad year. After Apollo 8 orbited the moon 10 times and the Astronauts read from the Book of Genesis on Christmas Eve and the "Earthrise" photo was taken. Upon their return to Earth they received a telegram that read, "Thank you Apollo 8, you saved 1968. Enjoy your videos Jamel. Music, movies, etc always good to watch with you. Happy New (Leap) Year.
I was 9th/10th grade, saw Peter Frampton with bff in ATL. Got my Learners license at 15. Soon I was 16 got my DL. Fun times. Protested Vietnam in 8th grade by having a “sit in” at school.
My aunt and uncle were missionaries in Viet Nam and they got out on the very last orphan plane that left the country and it was really scary. My sister and I saw Jaws on the opening night. They over sold the tickets and we sat on the floor in the balcony. When we went to the beach the next time we wouldn't go in past our knees,, LOL!
I'm 60 and I still hate the Ocean , never understood the fascination with beaches and that HUGE body of water just freaks me out . I don't even like deep lakes and rivers, too much living under there out of sight, went to Florida and low level anxiety the whole time there. was happy to get back to Missouri a few hundred feet above sea level. I would love to live in the Rockies but as a blue collar worker at the end of carreer time maybe I can dream of retiring there ;)
I was twelve. It was a year of big change for us-we added a family member (long story) and it caused a bit of upheaval. I remember most of these things, but our lives were most impacted by the disappearance of two girls from a local shopping mall.
I was just a kid in 1975 ( 10 years old going on 11 ) and didn’t have to many cares in the world at that time and didn’t understand what was going on in the world or even here in the country at that time either. As I grew older I gradually started to Understand what was going on in the world around me little by little and Didn’t Like what was happening around the world or even here in the States as well. I didn’t live by the Ocean so I didn’t have to worry about any Shark Attacks but this is reality for those who live in these areas by the Ocean 🌊 and Love the Ocean area for their recreational activities. I enjoyed your visit back to the year 1975 it was a time for those of us who were to young to understand the problems of the world and at home but watching this video was a great reminder from as the saying goes that I was taught growing up (that if We Forget the Past and the Mistakes We Make We Will Eventually Repeat Them Again ) in the World 🌎 !!!!! But All in All it was The Best Damn Decade I Have Ever Lived Through and I Miss It So Much More Now 😢 Peace On Earth 🌎
1975 was cool to me I graduated in 74 and I turned 18 and like we did back in the 70s moved out of my mom‘s house with my girlfriend to apartment that became a party place for us and our friends . You got you thinking about it was a good year for me had a good job and everything
I was 11 years old in 1975, highlights of that time I remember is going to see JAWS 🦈 that summer and being afraid to go back to the beach. The pilot movie for the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman TV series came out that year , and I spent my summer in NYC.
October 21st 1997 my mother crashed her 59 Corvette head-on collision she lived with the Corvette did not it was a miracle that she was still alive 80 years old and still up and around doing her thing

I was scared of the book cover. (Only read 1/3.) I opted to see Grease. I didnt watch Jaws till about 10 years ago.
I, too, was 20 in 75' and it makes me laugh when they put some of the photo's , like the first one, in black and white. It looks like pictures taken in 1875. I loved One flew Over the .... Damn, can't remember how to spell it. Better take my nap. NO WAY. I'M GOING OUT TO RUN. Good luck kids. You got your hands full. 🐢💨
I was a junior in HS. This takes me back. Jimmie Hoffa is rumored to be in the end zone in the Meadowlands stadium, which was under construction, covered in concrete. BTW...this was when SNL was at its best, nothing but funny.
1975 I was 17 years old graduated and started colledge in the fall. Lived in Montana so the free thinking of the 60's was just getting there because the 60's didn't get to Montana till the 70's. The boy who would be my first husband volunteered for the Marines and thought he would be going to Nam but the war endedjust before he got there and he was in the boat pull instead. There was a lot of darkness but we belived we would make the world better. Now I'm 66 and I sit and wonder sometimes what my dad and grandfather would think of the crazy world I see around me. My grandfather fought WW one and my father in WW two and I don't think they'd be very happy with what has happened with the freedom so many of their freinds died for
I was 8 in 1975 and went to see Jaws in the theater. I couldn't even sit on the dam toilet for a week without being scared of a shark biting my butt 🤣 that opening scene traumatized me. I do remember the President Ford assassination attempts.
I was 17 and pretty much into my own little world. I had no problem going into the water. But, I deidn't live near the shore. Still don't think I woulld have had a problem. It was scarry but fake. However when the Exorcist came out I could not sleep and had nightmares. That movie tramatized me. Jaws, not so much. Crazier years, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. I suspect 2024 as well. All where much, much worse.
My brother was born in 75, and I was born in 78 boy how society was so much different then compared to now lot more common courtesy, and people thought about others more
1967-1969 while my brother was in Nam.was my roughest year. In 1975, My oldest daughter was born. 🥰 "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" is an awesome movie. Please watch it, over and over again. 🕊️🦭🇺🇸♥️🌊🎼
I turned 18, graduated HS, and could buy beer. I saw Jaws and the Frampton "Comes Alive" tour in the summer, and The Who with Mooney in November. Good year!
I was only 12 but great music choices, had those as I had one helluva album collection starting at that time, over 500 strong now! RIP Mooney ✌💖☮
18 here, too. That album was played at more than one graduation party!
I met and I fell in love with the love of my life, and saw The Rolling Stones
Class of '75 here too.
I also went to Peter Frampton comes alive concert which town were you in? MAYBE we were at the same concert!🎉
I was 13 in 1975, what a different world it was.
Me too!
I was 12 I don’t remember a lot of these things
With all its darkness, i wouldn’t trade the ‘70’s for anything today can offer. What a great decade to have experienced. Especially the music. And people’s attitudes were different too. We laughed at ourselves…alot. 😂 i miss those days
People don’t know how to laugh at themselves today. They are to petty and wrapped up in themselves.
In 1975 I was 14 years old. I'll always remember my father sitting in font of the TV shaking his head. Being in my early teens I just went out and hung out with my friends. Now as an adult and see what's going on I feel his pain.😢
1975 was my high school graduating year. For me it was a very good time.
mine too! the best year
Me too ... Buckingham Virginia... It was a great year for me and my family ... Gas was cheap, we were coming out of the oil-embargo years, Vietnam, though a failure, was over ...
I'm on that bus...
Same for me , it was a great year,
I totally agree.@@AnnaSusannaFinkelstein-bd7ul
1975 - Graduated high school, The Vietnam War had just ended so my classmates wouldn't be going, saw the Rolling Stones in concert with Billy Preston as the opening act, read & saw Jaws - hard to get my little sister into the water that summer, started college - great year!
I knew the guy on the roof of the embassy helping people onto the choppers. He was a Fire Chief in Oregon when he got home. I got out of school in '77, logged in the western forests and became a fireman. Those were the days of great bands and sad stories. Peace and goodwill to all in the New Year!
1975 - Graduated high school. Attended Led Zeppelin's North American Tour in Philly with a co-worker--first time hearing their song, Kashmir. Saw Jaws and had no problem going down the shore afterward.
Physical Graffiti is my favourite album, and Jaws is my favourite film. 😁
These kinds of videos really take me down memory lane
I was 16 in 1975 and I can remember all of those things but still it was a good year for me we lived in north east Arkansas I got my frist car my driver license and a real job even all those bad things went on it was a good year and one I will remember for ever.
I was on vacation at the Bethany Beach when I saw Jaws. I was in the water the next morning.
Yeah but only ankle deep. That doesn't count.
I was 20 in 1975.. I remember all of this.. BTW I wasn't afraid to go into the ocean.. 1975 wasn't all bad.. Concert tickets were $5.00 up to $10.00.. The worst year before 9/11 was 1968..
I was scared to go in the swimming pool.

I was 14 , my dad and I would always watch SNL it was awesome
1968 was hands-down the most tumultuous year pre-911.
disagree..

@@kathimoore6527Which is why they changed it to 21 yrs.

I graduated high school in 75. That brought back lots of memories.

Live in the desert and have no want for a ocean.
Why Springsteen when Pink Floyd had the #1 Album Wish you were here and I seen Lynyrd Skynyrd 75.

Why did they include Springsteen?
I was 3 years old.❤
I was 15, turning 16 in late ‘75. Wonderful and crazy time
Bought my first new car at 19 years old. A 1975 Mustang hatchback sticker priced at $4080. 🙂

What we know as WCW today was formerly called NWA. As far as Jaws go, forget the Ocean, I wouldn't go swimming in my pool. I was a traumatized kid.

Watching this would make you think 1975 was a horrific year, but it was no worse or better than any other year.
Jaws totally affected me going into the ocean in 1975. I still went in but not too deep and constantly watched for sharks that summer.
1975 .. I remember it all ...I was 13 .. every year has it's highs and lows ..
In 1975 I was a junior in high school, I remember my dad telling my brother that year younger than me he would have to register for the draft, along with my other two younger brothers, in 1980 my youngest brother registered for the draft and I think that might have been the end of drafting, none of my brothers were called to duty.

A lot happened the year I was born. Thanks for showing this sir.👍👍
We are a surfing family and were glad that so many people stopped coming to the beach. It was nice to not have the big crowds around.
i was a sophomore/junior in college in 1975. this really brings back memories!
I was 4 years old. Living in Hale'iwa on Oahu. I learned how to surf after watching Jaws and was not afraid of the water at all.
☮️💙💙💙😎Graduation!!
I was 15 and it was some of the best times of my life!
75, big blizzars in January or February, graduated high school, our band trip 5hat year was Rapid City South Dakota, Banff Canada was discussed but they decided not to do 2 bigs trips so close together(Feb 74 Mardi Gras in New Orleans) VietNam and the draft was over before i turned 18. I think it was the summer i saw Kansas in concert, started at Iowa State. Could have been the year the Des Moines police station was bombed too.

I’ve always felt something special about my year and as my niece told me once, she said “you were born in the coolest year uncle, i mean think about it, there’s even a band named the 1975”.
Sweet! 1975....The year I was born.
I was 12 living in Atlanta Georgia.
The 70s were my formative years. Lots went on during that decade. I was living in Chattanooga then and graduated High School in 74 and went into the Army in 75.
Hoffa went missing, but he had a Chattanooga connection. Hoffa's 1964 federal trial for jury tampering and conviction in Chattanooga put the Scenic City in the national spotlight, even as the Beatles were taking America by storm that spring.
"If you're in the legal community, it's the biggest-ever Chattanooga trial," according to Maury Nicely, local attorney and author of "Hoffa in Tennessee." "This was a time when the president of the Teamsters was widely regarded as the second most powerful man - behind the president - in the United States.
I remember a new Z-28 Camaro was $5,400, cigarettes were around $0.50 a pack, gas had went from $0.32 to $0.50 a gallon. We all thought the price of gas was outrageous!
Led Zeppelin released Physical Graffiti, Aerosmith released Toys In The Attic (Walk This Way, Sweet Emotions), 10cc's I'm Not In Love (I love that song!), Jeff Beck released Blow By Blow (what a great album!), David Bowie released Fame, Earth Wind and Fire with Shining Star, Foghat with Fool For The City, to name a few great tunes during the year.
They didn't mention Ms. Fromme's better known name of Squeaky. Patty Hearst becomes Most Wanted and is arrested for armed robbery. The Unemployment Rate in the US reaches 9.2% and recession is recognized by President Ford.
Race relations (at least in the south) were terrible. Chattanooga had just emerged from race riots, and the situation remained touchy for several years. There are still some areas where a black man shouldn't go at night, and some places I wouldn't go at night. Sadly, there is usually at least one shooting there every day now. It was a great place to grow up (mostly), but it's all changed now and it's so violent. It's really sad.
I could go on and on, but that's enough to get the picture. It was an interesting time to be alive. Greg in TN 😀
Lol, back when my age was still in single digits! 😅
Jaws was in the movie theaters around here for a *long* time.
Betamax 🤔
Watch “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Amazing film that you shouldn’t miss.
Wow I was 15 years old in 75 what a great time it was to be a teenager.
1975...I delayed entry in the Army...March...graduated highschool June...went to basic training at Fort Polk LA July 31...turned 18 while in basic in September. ONEHELLOFAYEAR. I'll never forget it!
I remember watching Jaws at the theater. Everyone recoiling at the severed head bobbin under the boat.
My sister's were so terrified watching Jaws in the theatre they it was swimming in the aisles!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
1968 was a very bad year. After Apollo 8 orbited the moon 10 times and the Astronauts read from the Book of Genesis on Christmas Eve and the "Earthrise" photo was taken. Upon their return to Earth they received a telegram that read, "Thank you Apollo 8, you saved 1968.
Enjoy your videos Jamel. Music, movies, etc always good to watch with you.
Happy New (Leap) Year.
I was 9th/10th grade, saw Peter Frampton with bff in ATL. Got my Learners license at 15. Soon I was 16 got my DL. Fun times. Protested Vietnam in 8th grade by having a “sit in” at school.
1975 graduated H.S. at 17 entered the Navy celebrated my 18th birthday in boot camp the finished the year at the Submarine school in CT.
My aunt and uncle were missionaries in Viet Nam and they got out on the very last orphan plane that left the country and it was really scary. My sister and I saw Jaws on the opening night. They over sold the tickets and we sat on the floor in the balcony. When we went to the beach the next time we wouldn't go in past our knees,, LOL!
Gota see that movie Jamal!
I'm 60 and I still hate the Ocean , never understood the fascination with beaches and that HUGE body of water just freaks me out . I don't even like deep lakes and rivers, too much living under there out of sight, went to Florida and low level anxiety the whole time there. was happy to get back to Missouri a few hundred feet above sea level. I would love to live in the Rockies but as a blue collar worker at the end of carreer time maybe I can dream of retiring there ;)
I was twelve. It was a year of big change for us-we added a family member (long story) and it caused a bit of upheaval. I remember most of these things, but our lives were most impacted by the disappearance of two girls from a local shopping mall.
I was just a kid in 1975 ( 10 years old going on 11 ) and didn’t have to many cares in the world at that time and didn’t understand what was going on in the world or even here in the country at that time either. As I grew older I gradually started to Understand what was going on in the world around me little by little and Didn’t Like what was happening around the world or even here in the States as well. I didn’t live by the Ocean so I didn’t have to worry about any Shark Attacks but this is reality for those who live in these areas by the Ocean 🌊 and Love the Ocean area for their recreational activities. I enjoyed your visit back to the year 1975 it was a time for those of us who were to young to understand the problems of the world and at home but watching this video was a great reminder from as the saying goes that I was taught growing up (that if We Forget the Past and the Mistakes We Make We Will Eventually Repeat Them Again ) in the World 🌎 !!!!! But All in All it was The Best Damn Decade I Have Ever Lived Through and I Miss It So Much More Now 😢 Peace On Earth 🌎
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.....great movie.
The year I was born. Had to watch
1975 was cool to me I graduated in 74 and I turned 18 and like we did back in the 70s moved out of my mom‘s house with my girlfriend to apartment that became a party place for us and our friends . You got you thinking about it was a good year for me had a good job and everything
I WAS 18 ALL OF THE 70'S WERE CRAZY.
I was fifteen , Im from Canada , cigerettes were 75 cents a pack....they are now about 18 dollars !
I was 11 years old in 1975, highlights of that time I remember is going to see JAWS 🦈 that summer and being afraid to go back to the beach. The pilot movie for the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman TV series came out that year , and I spent my summer in NYC.
October 21st 1997 my mother crashed her 59 Corvette head-on collision she lived with the Corvette did not it was a miracle that she was still alive 80 years old and still up and around doing her thing
I was scared of the book cover. (Only read 1/3.) I opted to see Grease. I didnt watch Jaws till about 10 years ago.
I was afraid to go swimming in my pool, two years later! 😂🤣😃 I had a vivid imagination. 😉🤤
I, too, was 20 in 75' and it makes me laugh when they put some of the photo's , like the first one, in black and white. It looks like pictures taken in 1875. I loved One flew Over the ....
Damn, can't remember how to spell it. Better take my nap. NO WAY. I'M GOING OUT TO RUN. Good luck kids. You got your hands full. 🐢💨
I was a junior in HS. This takes me back. Jimmie Hoffa is rumored to be in the end zone in the Meadowlands stadium, which was under construction, covered in concrete. BTW...this was when SNL was at its best, nothing but funny.
What a year that was. I graduated from HS that year.
1975 I was 17 years old graduated and started colledge in the fall. Lived in Montana so the free thinking of the 60's was just getting there because the 60's didn't get to Montana till the 70's. The boy who would be my first husband volunteered for the Marines and thought he would be going to Nam but the war endedjust before he got there and he was in the boat pull instead. There was a lot of darkness but we belived we would make the world better. Now I'm 66 and I sit and wonder sometimes what my dad and grandfather would think of the crazy world I see around me. My grandfather fought WW one and my father in WW two and I don't think they'd be very happy with what has happened with the freedom so many of their freinds died for
In that shot of Jack Nicholson, the guy behind him with the buzz cut is Christopher Lloyd.
I was 8 in 1975 and went to see Jaws in the theater. I couldn't even sit on the dam toilet for a week without being scared of a shark biting my butt 🤣 that opening scene traumatized me. I do remember the President Ford assassination attempts.
I was 9 back then, good times.
I was 17 and pretty much into my own little world. I had no problem going into the water. But, I deidn't live near the shore. Still don't think I woulld have had a problem. It was scarry but fake. However when the Exorcist came out I could not sleep and had nightmares. That movie tramatized me. Jaws, not so much. Crazier years, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. I suspect 2024 as well. All where much, much worse.
Back when football was football
My brother was born in 75, and I was born in 78 boy how society was so much different then compared to now lot more common courtesy, and people thought about others more
I saw it on the big screen when I was 10 and would not go swimming in my local lake the remainder of summer. At least two months. Lol
Ditto I graduated in 75 turned 18 could buy beer too.
1967-1969 while my brother was in Nam.was my roughest year.
In 1975, My oldest daughter was born.
🥰
"One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
is an awesome movie.
Please watch it, over and over again.
🕊️🦭🇺🇸♥️🌊🎼
I was in my freshman year in high school. Wow.
I still prefer not to go in the ocean thanks to Jaws.
Jaws saved you from drowning. ✌️
For me, 1975 will always be the year of Bruce and the "Born to Run" LP.
