For those of you who we're alive at this time, what was 1976 like?

It was a party. The war was over, hippies were growing up and freaks took over, with no direction. Most of us didnt think we would live to see thirty. I lost way too many friends to drunk driving accidents. Drinking age was 18. Looking back, it seems i attended a funeral more than i attended the graduation parties. I enlisted in the air force to get away from the chaos of life.
The bicentennial made for good fireworks......
