The 1970s, or "the Seventies," is not known to be a glorious time.  America's pullout from Vietnam was humiliating, the Supreme Court issued decisions that have been much criticized (like ''Roe v. Wade''), a president resigned amid a scandal (Richard Nixon), and inept president won the next election (Jimmy Carter), and the rock music was abysmal.  Styles like "disco" and "bell-bottom" pants that were popular in the Seventies seem ludicrous today.  Sadly, it was the decade when your teacher became a teenager.  It was too early for the internet, and too late for some of the marvelous music of the 1960s.
