Soakin’ in the 70’s Show Notes
“1970” Episode
In our first episode which focuses on a particular year, Jeff and Scott explore the year 1970. Bell-bottoms, Vietnam, and the introduction of the EPA and OSHA. There were NASA’s last 5 flights of the Apollo program. Was there less protest/hippies and maybe more optimism? #1 song and #1 album from the same artist? 2 Beatles albums and their first solo albums. Hendrix and Joplin passed away. The Jackson 5! The IBM mainframe was introduced. Tune in and revisit the year.
