For the younger people on the forum and those that were around in 1970

If you listen to this song for the entire 10 minutes you will kind of understand what it was like in the early 70's. In my case the memories are erratic. It was wild, it was crazy, it was fun. I wish I could remember some of the names of people that I knew back then but is really just a blur. I'm not sure how I kept my job but I did and thankfully made it out alive.

The above is exactly what I thought as I listened to this song. BTW - I love the Funkadelics so not slamming their music.

1. I was around then.

I remember the first Earth Day.

2. My husband lived in Santa Barbara during the disastrous oil spill in 1969 & helped wash sea birds

I don’t know how many oil soaked marine life survived — but a lot of local residents tried.

That was the birth of Earth Day.

3. I remember this well. Gave birth that year, and hubby

returned safe and sound from his year in Vietnam, to see his daughter for the very first time.

4. :) Same here. Pregnant with first that year.

My husband served safely before VN, though, and met his son in the delivery room. We heard this pretty often but didn't own the album, or trip with it.
