One thing I do remember about 1971 was that NOTHING was going to stop my dad, who was around 40 years old then, from watching All In The Family.😄
I loved Edith! She was so sweet and naive. 🌷
@62guitarguy
Guns handed out to all airline passengers was the best idea ever to prevent hijackers.
Your Dad was a smart guy! Great show!
hey meat-head. We watched it religiously as a kid but I was born in 71. Edith was so cute and there was the Jefferson too -- to spin off later obviously.
@@creamepiecharlie
Loved George Jefferson’s “mammie.” 😂
The year I graduated from high school. It all seemed so normal. It wasn't a different time. It was a different country. Damn I miss it.
the year I was born, meh. :)
'71 was my grad year too, how the world has changed, miss those days so bad it hurts !!
Same here my friends. The year I got my licenses and a bad~ass 1968
Mustang GT Fastback with a 390 4 speed. I was wild and crazy 17 year old outlaw. I was a hell raiser but never hurt anyone, but caused the local police allot of headaches. Street racing was their main objective to catch me. They never did. I agree 110% with you, geraldking "It wasn't a different time. It was a different country."
Being 20 right now sucks, wish I was born back then. Electronics ruined the fun
Remember all of these events- still love Tapestry, still cry at Brian’s Song, still can’t believe it’s been 50 years.
Check, check and check. (And, yes, pretty much everything was better 50 years ago).
I was 11...remembering
What a year for me 🇺🇲
Groovy..
So crazy! 50 years! I used to cry just hearing the theme music from Brian's Song.
@@carolejohnson791 i was 7, peace signs, marching troops and a cheat for Pres.and lots of misinformation of history at school.
@@petethetaper that president may have got his hand caught in the cookie jar but our nation's economy was doing just fine. And I wouldn't mind having old tricky back in office if it were possible.
I was fifteen, sixteen when all this happened. I thought things were bad then, little did I know. But , all and all it was a much simpler time.
I was 11 years old, and having the time of my life, my step dad was the coolest in history, my mom was great, we didn't have money, but it didn't matter, they gave us a fantastic childhood, I miss them so much.
All in the Family was the first show that became must-see TV in my house. My entire family would take time out to watch every week. There is no doubt Tapestry is one of the finest albums ever produced. Once upon a time, when I was a song writer, I used to wish I could write a song as melodic as So Far Away. That Ali Frazier fight was huge. I remember everyone at school talking about it at the time. It ushered in a golden age for boxing, especially the heavyweight division. Ali, Frazier, Ken Norton, Ernie Shavers, George Foreman, Jimmy Young, all available for free on ABC.
And all presented by a man who deplored boxing as barbaric and lethal, ruining the lives of young men. It's too bad Howard Cosell was so good at it! And yeah, Tapestry was musical magic, but the production was pretty flimsy IMO. Listen to the distortion everywhere, and the tone of her piano was so dead, even by the standards of the time. It was like she had these great songs but was only allowed 2 hours in the studio to record them. Carole King is a genius, one of the best composers ever, and the label did her a disservice with that production. But by her talent alone, she clobbered the sales records of the time, and rightly so. I think she had 202 consecutive weeks on Billboard's album charts with Tapestry.
Its sad to think about how much better life was back then, there were problems and stupid people but not to the extent that we have today. Not even close.
I was 18 and flew from the US to New Zealand, where I bought a bicycle and road around the country for 5 months .. one of the best times ever. It was like going back in time 30 years.
So you dodged the draft?
Alice Cooper's song "I'm Eighteen" was written during the debates over lowering the voting age to 18, because people that young were dying in Vietnam.
High school senior, saw the Allman Bros, with Duane at Central Park, life was great
wow cool
Yes, it WAS.
I would have loved to had seen Duane and Greg playing together
@@mags5459 they played over 3 hours, it was like being in church !!!
Still love watching All in the Family! Archie Bunker, Fred Sanford & George Jefferson all funny, non PC TV!!!
It was a long time before I could make out the words Boy the way Glenn Miller played...
I had no idea what he was saying
@@noble604 The part most people didn't understand was, Gee our old Lasalle ran great. I listen to it now, and I still can't make out that that's what they're singing.
Julie Nielsen - it’s strange how much the world has changed. Now you just look up the lyrics. Then, you were guessing and making them up lol.
⁹
It was a good year for me, graduated high school in 70 and started Beauty School in 71. I loved Carole King and had a very large record collection. Loved my music, still do.
I watch The Homecoming every Thanksgiving. ❤
Hi
The year my mother died. At only 10 years, I was on my own, so bye mom and your sweet apple pie.❤
That sucks. I'm so sorry you lost your mom at such a tender age. Any age is bad, but 10 is terrible.
I’m so sorry.
Ray so sorry, glad you made it through
I was 11, a much simpler time. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago. My biggest memory from ‘71 was a trip to Indianapolis and a van ride around the speedway. I got to drive on its road course this summer! All In The Family was OK but my parents loved The Waltons. Good Night John Boy.
Do you think a show like The Waltons would stand a ghost of a chance of getting on the air today? I seriously doubt it -- a pity.
I was sweet 16, a sophomore, and had my first boyfriend. He was a senior and dumped me when he graduated. Can’t believe 50 years have passed. Thanks for these great trips down memory lane. Well done!
I turned 16 that year in June. Started officially dating my high school sweetheart. What a great year, although, my city in Los Angeles area had a major earthquake in February that year. Lots of damage everywhere but our home was still standing!
In 1971 my sister gave me a copy of “Tapestry” for my twelfth birthday. I played the hell out of it. I no longer have anything to play it on, but I still have it.
Its on my Iphone
I bet a LOT of us are looking for turntables, Amy! I guess they simply don't have the talent to do music like that anymore.
@@starmnsixty1209 A lot of catalog companies carry them now, that is, if you're up to paying $30 or $40 for vinyl. I'm glad I kept EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ALBUMS. And they're in perfect, mint condition.
Yea, kept all my albums and 45's, have a turntable and there's nothing that takes me back in time more than the sound of crackling when you drop the needle
@@debrahelmlinger6256 HAHAHAH, me too.....only problem is now all you can hear is crackles....thank god for youtube.
I turned 4 in 1971, this is the year my earliest memories come from. I thought we lived in a mansion, but as an adult looking back it was a tiny little tract house in a 1950s subdivision.
....where everybody worked to keep the 'colored people ' out.
I was a child during these years...it brings many memories back to my mind, but also alerts me of things I was too young to know
I was in the U.S. Navy off the shore of Vietnam on an amphibious assault ship support the US Marine Corps in 1971. My selective service was very low and I didn't want to continue with college so my deferment was up. Learned so much and grew up so much during the next four years in the military. When I returned home my friends treated me differently because of my involvement in Vietnam. I always felt the truth was I moved on down a different path in life then they did.
Thank You for Serving in the Vietnam War. I am a member of Rolling Thunder, Inc. which was founded in 1988 by Vietnam Veterans I have met. Why there are POW-MIA Flags on Government Agencies buildings across the USA.
Thank you for your service. ❤
Welcome home brother.
I was in the USN also... served as a RM in the Fleet Center on GUAM. I also matured from a 19 year old knuckle head to a man...had a buddy, Mark E Prince from Medford OR who just passed away...we would BS every day about our times in the USN...We later served in the Tonkin Gulf onboard the USS Constellation, CVA 64.
Wow! Our family moved into the suburbs that year and I entered junior high. Entering a new school can be a little scary, but it got better. Made new friends which are now my old friends. LOL! My favs were my electric bass guitar, my Stingray bike (rolled up my bell bottoms so they wouldn't get caught on the peddles), FM stereo radio, cassette and reel to reel tape recording, hanging out at the local shopping center's music and record store and hamburger eateries in which we all can relate. Good times! Everyone be careful out there..
I can relate to all these events being 18 at the time. Cheers. 🇨🇦
The BEST summer ive ever had in 71 !
Sweet golden memories !
My mom and dad will be celebrating their 50th anniversary this October. I guess 1971 really was a good year.
I can remember going to my grandparents 50th & they seemed old.
@@samanthab1923 Wait till you turn 60 or 70. Time flies like a meteor. You'll see, soon enough.
Stella Rocquie 😂
By any chance is one of them on the 13th?
I was born in 1971. So, of course, I find this one interesting! Thank you for this. And I look forward to the next one!
Same here.
Me too!
me 3 🙂
Ditto
Me four
I turned 12 in April of 1971. My 7th & 8th grades (mid ‘71 through September of 1973) would end up being two of the very best years of my life. Itks funny, I knew they’d be as I lived them. I loved Jr. High Those were “everything” years. I had everything I wanted or, needed, for a 12 year old. I knew when jr high ended, many other things would too. And I was right.
In the previous two years, I’d fallen in love. I was popular thin, cute as a button & loved the world and everyone’s in it. Cavity inducing bubble gum music on AM was king: some songs can still cause a gut punch of emotion. Brian’s Song still makes me cry , Carol King is strewn throughout my Spotify. The Homecoming was appointment viewing when it premiered during the. Christmas season of ‘71. I’m 62 now. Just lost my mom and i feel lost, unsure what to do next. In time I will….I hope.
And on occasion, I still think of my cute Jr High raison d’etre and wonder…..what if???? Then, I shake it off, face the reality of my here & now then ironically go back to the Time Machine that is You Tube.
It's sad your best years were when you were sooo young.
@@Daysleeper1000 Yep, you’re right. It is sad that those times, which now happened more than 50 years ago, were as close to perfect as it gets, but keep in mind, I viewed that era through the very limited window 12/13 year old eyes & emotionally processed them with a brain that was 14 years away from being medically, fully formed and able to reason with logic & proportion.. Those years were special because I had nothing to compare them to. My juvenile perspective back then was extremely narrow-I’d not yet witnessed life in a real sense. I grew up & moved on & put those years in to perspective. They were good, but they couldn’t/wouldn’t be on the same level as glorious things I’ve experienced as an adult…& as a retired, middle aged woman. I’m glad I had them, they’ll always be retrievable (I hope) but in the interim (thank God) I’ve found or created other happy memories to keep them company. But in all honesty, those Jr. High years will always hold an extremely special place in my soul.
@@TheLaurkenGroup I'm thinking the loss of your mother has had a major impact. My sister and I are 60 and 62, caring for both of our parents full time. We're blessed we can do this. Both parents have differing dementias, and it is exhausting.
When I hear about people thinking their best years are JUNIOR HIGH I just cannot relate.
I've had college, military, travels, wedding ( still married since 1985) children, grandchildren, career experiences that eclipse my junior high years.
We do live in dark times, and I love reminiscing YT videos, for sure. I'm personally going through very difficult times caring for both parents, as well. It's exhausting, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Wishing you the best!
@@Daysleeper1000 We all go through different odysseys in life. None of us make it through ANY of it without a scratch or any upheavals.
My very ill mother died in March of ’21. I lost my father from whom I was estranged this past May. The fact that I hold my Jr High years with such regard has a psychological basis, that’s too involved to get into. But in difficult times, we, as a species, often glom onto the perceived, ‘good ol” days’, to add ballast, if you will, but it has to be done so in a healthy, realistic manner. It can be fun & often reassuring to go back. In fact, in the absence of the ability to heal from emotional wounds inflicted for whatever reason, being able to go back in time if only via gray matter, might be the only thing many of us have. But it’s lacks logic & you realize being 12 emotionally vs 57 physically is incongruent. So, you make every effort to grow up while doing the work, & eventually you start the healing process & learn to jettison the toxicity in your life, while taking responsibility for any negatives you brought to the table.
I never married, never had kids, had no military service, but I learned all about investing & estate planning after having an absolutely fascinating 32 year career in broadcasting which allowed me meet incredible people & introduced me to travel, a bug that continues to bite, so fortunately, I quell it by taking a major vacation abroad every year. Seeing the world & being a part of it, learning from it, has filled the voids others might perceive me as having.
I could say I envy you for having what sounds like an exemplary life, with great, emotionally functional parents & a very stable home life. If that’s true, you’re extraordinarily fortunate, but I didn’t have any of those things. Instead, I’ve learned to process the unpleasantness and compartmentalize those sad, tragic memories in a safe place in which I control egress & regress. There have been been other happy components to my life, but I still hold and might always hold my Jr. High school memories as some of my very best. I see nothing wrong with that. It hasn’t by any means kept me from moving forward in giant steps. In fact, I firmly believe we must always move forward, but some of us can’t do that without going back, lifting the anchor, raising the sails & releasing the tethers on the dock, that keep us from doing so.
Cheers. I send you my best.
@@TheLaurkenGroup I relate completely to many of your issues.
I was severely abused, along with my sister and brother. I was the scapegoat, sister the lost child and brother the hero. I understand trauma all too well, especially trauma bonding and codependency. I totally get it.
You've had an amazing life, and travel is good for the soul!!!!
My sister and I have empathy never shown by our parents, but fortunately, the dementia has removed all of both parent's defensiveness, and I now have a mother I'd never had. So I'm enjoying living in the moment with both parents. Dad was a weak grandiose narc and mom a malignant borderline.
As the scapegoat, I learned never lose optimism, never lose hope. Even to my detriment.
Thank you for sharing your unique story.
I wish you the best!
You do a great job on these recollection videos. Please keep up the good work!
Love The Waltons. I was 12 years old when The Homecoming was shown. Still watch the show every week day.
Tapestry one of my all time favorite albums. I was 13 & still have the vinyl.☮️🌻
Junior in high school. Got my first job at Jack in the Box. Bought my first car, a 1967 fastback 390 Mustang. Many great memories!
YAY! I have been waiting for this year for months due to being born in 1971!!
Me too, October 6th...😆
Happy Birthday to you and me🎂
March 2nd was my birthday. Happy birthday to us all!!!
Me too! January 31! 🎉
"Memories...misty water colored memories of the way we were" hard to believe I remember these...must be getting old..
I was at the fight at MSG Between Ali and Frazier. One of the great memories of my life.
I remember all the TV commercials talking about all the closed-circuit venues out there to buy tickets for it. It was the largest boxing payday at the time. Then watching it on Wide World of Sports two weeks later with the late Howard Cosell as the commentator.
@@spokanetomcat1
Today they have the fight on pay per view on Friday night and its on youtube an hour later.
@@charlesbaldo There is another big pay-per-view heavyweight fight coming on. Fury vs Wilder III. Yep maybe see it an hour later on here...LOL
Ali and Frazier literally and slowly killed each other in all those fights.
@@vernwallen4246
It was a brutal slugfest. However Ernie Shavers was the one that knocked them both into brain damage. Everyone that fought Shavers always said he hit them the hardest. Its weird, I thought pugilist sports would go away, but they have become even more popular, MMA is brutal.
I turned 16 and got saved that year. All around year of big changes and so many memories.
Thank you Jesus, thanks for sharing
RTOD, good for you. 👍
I’m just a young mexican stoner trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos on my UA-cam channel 😪😪…
The Jesus Movement was just getting started. It saved our social world. I hope it comes back, we need it.
@@yfa6244 We're very close to the end times. Many are looking to God but there won't be a big revival that turns the world around.
If anyone reading this seeks God, the bible says that no one comes to God except through Jesus, his son, who died on the cross to pay for our sins, and was resurrected and sits at the right hand of the father.
Accept Jesus as your savior today.
Salvation is through faith in Jesus only. No works or sacraments or meditation or good intentions will do it.
WWIII is about to break out, famine is close, as is disease. If you died today, would you spend eternity in hell, or in heaven with Jesus?
Please make these "flashback to" videos longer with more content. Thanks! I've subscribed.
I completely agree with you a longer version would be great so they could cover more subjects for the year that they are covering!
Also in 1971…
“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” starring Gene Wilder, Jack Albertson and Peter Ostrum was released. 🍫 🏭
I was those kids age.
That movie scared the crap out of me! I was 7 at the time...
About the only hopeful thing in that year.
Excellent video! I myself was born during 1971, and after much research honestly believe that it was the last best year for the America of old...(nothing to do with my being born obviously)... 1971 had the Best music, best standard of living, best family values, best cars, style, etc. There were many changes needed still of course, but at lwe were on the right track, we all still had each other. Who can say such a thing today? They now have us so divided, and at each other's throats instead of holding those in power responsible for the greed and corruption plaguing our nation over the last 100 plus years. Anyway, this video left out one very important and massive 1971 fact. One which was the final stage of robbing Americans of their fiscal futures they deserved, and one which is also what is about to finish bankrupting America. It's the signing away of the Gold Standard. An act which ushered in America's full allegiance & dependance to the "Federal Reserve Banking System" (which has ZERO to do with anything Federally funded as it is privately owned) and along with it the modern -and likely to fail soon- Fractional Banking System we all use today. IMO, this was Nixon's worst and most treasonous action by far which set in motion a new world order that is about to take full fruition. However, for many historians, Nixon may actually have signed those papers under severe duress from the powers that be at that time. Please pray for our future.
I'm so excited for the next episode... 1972, my birth year!!!
My dad helped paint Disney World when it was under construction. In 1972 my mother got a job as a house keeper at the Contemporary hotel. She then went to a technical school and got her license to be a PBX operator and started working at the Polynesian Resort answering calls. She worked there for many years until a new building was built for the operators and it is/was called Vista Communications. My mother worked there for well over 25 years and even continued to work after she retired. She never missed a day of work. Ever.
I have worked at Disney in two different departments: The wardrobe department at Magic Kingdom the transferred to the Security department. After I quit I went to school to be a medical assistant and later on got a job in First Aide working with the company doctors. I was the very first medical assistant to work for Disney. Not even Disney Land had any. Fast forward several years when I left the medical field I worked at Disney as a scenic artist but not for Disney. When Animal Kingdom was under construction I worked there as a scenic artist and when the project ended I moved over to the newest built area, Asia.
I worked for a company from California and it consisted of two girls, a male boss and local male day laborer. We painted the primate enclosures, the entire water flume (Kali Rapids ride) and all of the elements that surround it including the burning log pile. I enjoyed my time working in the parks but then moved on to work at Seaworld as a scenic artist and prop fabricator and retired from there.
Oh, while I was working at First Aide at the Magic Kingdom I met Michael Jackson and Macaulay Culkin when they walked through the lobby to get into the park. As soon as they were at Coke Corner, my son shook hands with them. My son was working as a custodian at the time.
Love this series. Thanks for doing it
Also in 1971…
Soul Train hosted by the late Don Cornelius premiered in Syndication.
Best year of my life.
9 or 10 then and just stunned by carole king's voice. Bought her album tapestry with my paper route money and every year after bought every album she ever released up to this day, which in 2021 is a little over 30 . Learned 2 things from her awesome collection: no matter what is happening in a person's life, good or bad, happy or sad, there's a carole king song that. And 2, stilled stunned by her voice.
Leroy "Satchel" Paige pitched his last MAJOR LEAGUE game at age 59!!! In an exhibition game, he struck out Don Drysdale (a man 30 years YOUNGER!) at age 63!!! I'm 56 and I haven't even thrown a baseball AT ALL in 20 years! 😳
It’s hard to remember a lot about that year since, I was 3 going on 4 that year. I do remember watching the Yearling and, when, the Waltons came out with series, I remember that it aired on Thursday nights at 8pm and, we rarely missed a episode.
Not sure but I think the Waltons were on Thursday nights. I watched it all the time.
@@jamescress Yep, that’s exactly what, I was saying!
In 1971, the whimsical blonde beauty herself Goldie Hawn had her very own TV special which was entitled "Pure Goldie" on NBC-TV. It also featured Ruth Buzzi (also from "Laugh-In"), Elliot Gould (from the movie "M*A*S*H") and of course, Jim Henson's Muppets, including Kermit the frog.
My sister, and my first girlfriend were born. My folks moved into the house we still live in. Walt Disney World opens.
So many other things happened that year that just one video would be hard. Loved it ! For me that year holds very special significants. Keep up the good work
That was the year I graduated high school my God I'm old
@Allie M Johnson • My wife always complains about getting old (she is an old 58 vs me being a young 71) and I always tell her that getting old is better than the alternative...
Did you go to your 50th reunion?
@@samanthab1923 No. I never went to the prom either
@@AllieJ123 I also graduated in 71 and did not attend the prom. And will not attend any of their reunions.
Tapestry was the first album I ever bought. I was 9/10. Things were great for me as a child in 1971.
In 1971, i was 9 years old....loved the decade of the 70's....best music and best tv shows. I still watch All in the family, The Waltons, The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times, the Six Million Dollar Man. And more...Definitely good memories!!!
I was married on 7/17/71 It was a year of many great firsts truly unforgettable!
That's cool. One of my brothers was born on 1/16/61
That was a year I was born. Some really cool things happened that year. Thank you.
The Waltons ha. Great storytelling. Goodnight John-boy.
1971 has some of the best action films, such as Dirty Harry, Shaft, and The French Connection.
Loved Shaft....shut your mouth!
@@jamescress Or as they say now, STFU, LOL!
Duel also premiered on ABC tv
1971, the year I was born on February 4th. I always have had an interest of what was going on in the world when I was born.
My great-grandfather ("Gramps") died in April 1971, he was born in 1883 -- the year Krakatoa exploded -- I was 5. He saw the telephone, cars, radio, airplanes, TV, and I sat on my great-grandmother's lap ("Granny" born 1890) to watch the moon landing in 1969, I was three. She died in 1972.
Their sons are gone (my grandfather), and last year I lost dad to Covid.
Now I'm up next. I plan to stick around at least another 45 years. I hope to make it to 100 by taking care of myself.
Everyday you wake up is a gift.
Don't squander them.
Please make these "flashback to" videos longer with more content. I'm really enjoying the walks through yesteryear. Thanks! I've subscribed.
Wow..remember it all ..thanks
I was born in 1971. It was an amazing year for my family.. because they got the gift of a lifetime. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dad was a steel worker, he hated the TV. We had Black and white TV, they never did get a color tv until they moved. Archie bunker, well dad liked him and Bonanza. Outside of Walter on the news, that TV was shut off. Football broke him, all the lads loved the game. We played it, watched it and listened to it. Ah to be Irish in America. Strikes, gov't cheese, and closing plants and mills. Buffalo was done and we all knew it.
You forgot to mention the loss of Jim Morrison on july 2nd.
That was a pretty big deal.
Wow, didn’t know that was the actual date, course, my birthday is on July 2nd but, there was some facts, I don’t remember in 71 because, I was just turning 4.
Yes it was! I loved the Doors and JM, RIP Jim!!!!
Actually it was July 3rd
1971 was also the year of the launch of the Ziggy comic strip in newspapers and the launch of the Amtrak American Passenger Train System.
What a good year. I miss it

I was just 14 years old and just entered high school. I remember when, All in the Family,and the rest of the sitcoms came on CBS starting 8:00 pm.
I also remember Soul Train on Saturday afternoon.
The Sooouullll Train with Don Cornelius LOL When that came on the cartoons were over and it was time for bike riding and friends.

“How did you get so fat?”
“It wasn’t easy.”
I have the DVD set. I'm enjoying it now. I didn't care for it much back then when I was 11 in 1971.
I do remember watching The Homecoming, the Waltons pilot, it was great.
I think John Boy was a closet Gay.
I'm a big Waltons fan to this day!

Thank you for your service. My late husband was also a Vietnam vet.

So good, thank you! I remember all of it even though I was 13👏🏼
1971 - The year I was born!
Meticulously researched, and excellently presented. THANK YOU!
I was in the Air FORCE. Was sent to Korea for the entire year.......really became a man....served with some great guys....and thanks to all the lovely ladies that filled my nights
Funny how many younger people would call this 'the 60s' if they did not see the title. Fact is, most of the '60s stuff/topics really were the last 3 or so years of the 1960s and went well into the 1970s. Most younger do not know the real 1960s
Huge difference between '65 and '67 or '68.
exactly..but my question is what do you consider the real 60's? the early beatles, drag strips??....my 60's is stuff like that huge protest in d.c....and the pentagon papers
1971, I remember that year well. I think the style of "Hot Pants was in peak popularity with the young ladies that year. I graduated in June from 8th grade at a 1st to 8 grades Catholic Elementary school.
freakin girls were hippies trapped in jeans 🥰
I wore hot pants! I don't imagine the girls at Catholic school did though!😁🤣😂

71 was a great year for me. Had a good year in school and got my first job that summer, and did a lot dumb things with my money, but didn’t think were dumb at the time.
On October 29th 1971, Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers rock band was killed in a motorcycle crash when his bike sped into the back of a peach truck. He's often overlooked when people discuss musicians that "died young" in the early 70s (he was the youngest of them all, passing away at just 24) but he was one of the greatest guitarists of his generation and was a close friend of Jimmy Hendrix before their deaths in 1970 and 1971 respectively.
The last year for the 426 street hemi in Mopars............so sad. I had a "72 Road Runner.
Now back in 1971, I was at Convalescent Hospital for Children, and I was in Olympia cottage.
At that time, I had a very, very, very big, enormous, gigantic crush on a teacher there, who's name was
Judy Sherwood, and whenever I would see
her (Judy Sherwood, that is) I would run through the halls of the school building,
yelling, hollering, screaming Flicking With The Camera All Night Long, Cottage Cheese, Hey Hey With The Monkees, etc, etc, etc.
Also at that time,I was very, very afraid of cameras and flashes.
When I saw a Kodak Instanatic camera that had a flashcube on it, the flash went off, and I would yell, scream, and cry, because I was so afraid of a camera.
And when a movie was over, the words The End would come on the screen, and that frightened me very much.
And we had a staff whom I was very afraid of-his name was
Larry Hyde.
Larry would often spank my hind end at times, and I didn't like that.

My twin brother and sister were born in 1971! It's so fascinating to see what life was like the year they were born. ❤
Teaser and the Firecat by Cat Stevens was released in October 1971.
In September of 1971, the family sitcom series "The Smith Family" made its debut on ABC-TV. It starred Henry Fonda, with Janet Blair, Darlene Carr (as Cynthia), Ronnie Howard and Michael-James Wixted. It lasted two years to say the very least actually.
Such A Wonderful Year In Our Beautiful United States Of America.
That Frazier -Ali fight is still one of the biggest sporting events in history..... and it was held on a weeknight..... I was only 12 but listened to round by round updates on a transistor radio ..it was great .. it was also carried at theaters for pay per view ...... there are some great specials you can view on you tube that speak on how epic that fight was and not just in the boxing world.....the world was so different then.... and so much better in many ways..
Apollos 14 & 15 also took place that year; in January and July, 1971, respectively. I got to meet Edgar Mitchell back in 2013, and David R. Scott in 2019 both in Tucson, Arizona during a SpaceFest Conference.
I don't remember much from 1971. I was born then 😀🎉
I was 12 and my uncle piloted the F4 phantom in Vietnam and I remember I was in awe. 🇺🇸🙏
I was 6😩 don’t remember much. 71 World Series with Clemente. Thank you for the timeline.
The 70’s had the best music imo
This is My Year...11/26/1971
I was 8 years old, but remember a few of these.
In 1971 I was 10 and lived in Kamloops BC. I remember that very hot summer. Hotter then as it is now. I also remember "clackers"

@Richard S
I was 13 & remember clackers too!!👊 Then they outlawed 'em, for good reason ...👊
My son is 23 & just asked me if I had them. Of course! Any number of dangerous things we played with. Real bows & arrows, BB guns, firecrackers just a day in the suburbs.

Throughout my life, we lived in both country & city. I could tell ya some stories about the crazy things me & my "partner in crime" (aka my older brother, by only 11 months 🤣) when we were just pre-teens ... 👊
JESUS Name Above All Names Oh I'm sure. Both my parents were from cities in NY. I think the reason we had so much freedom is he wanted us to have everything he didn't. And they were young when they had us. My mom never had a clue. She hears us tell stories now & just shakes her head. Good times 😂
