But I'm having a run of 70's nostalgia this summer.
I was 2 in 1970 and turned 12 in 1980, so I have never really had a huge attachment to the 70's. I was too young. The 80's were my jam!
All of a sudden, a sunny 70's summer is on my mind all the time. Rainbows and roller skates. Sun, sand and the beach. Even 70's styles don't seem as ridiculous as they usually do. Well, ok, the cheesy porn mustaches still seem creepy and gross, but other than that....
I think it might be from a book I just read, Daisy Jones and The Six. It's a story about a 70's rock band, ala Fleetwood Mac. The book takes place over the span of the 1970's. It doesn't spend too much time on the details of the decade, you get a real feel for it. So many things that I had forgotten or not even realized.
If you are into a nice summer story, read this book. It's done in an "interview" format, which is kind of odd at the beginning, but stick with it. It's worth it.
And then we can all have a 70's summer together.
