Everything New is Old Again? By Neil Morrison a writer for www.bahstun.com

Have you noticed (well for everyone born before 1980) that we are back in 1974 fashion wise? The hottest fashions are clever tees and corduroy pants. The hottest sports are skateboarding and surfing and the hottest films are teen slasher movies that are a throw back to Friday the 13th and Halloween.

It seems that everything new is old again. The hottest car to hit the market this year is the Ford Mustang which looks an awful lot like the fastbacks of the 1970's and that design choice is no mistake. The new fall colors are Browns, Oranges and any "earth" tone you can think of including teal?

I am glad to see the 70's come around again. It was a great time for choice, freedom, music, fun, friendship. Don't get me wrong, it did have its problems. The country was knee deep in a war that not many approved of and most questioned why we were sending our young men to fight, there was a shortage of oil and gas prices were through the roof, there were several political scandals that shook our faith in government, Iran was a country ...
... headed by Islamic militant extremists looking to cause chaos in the world....wait a minute maybe it is still 1974!

The good news is it is once again the "Me" generation. The bad news is the 80's are coming soon with a vengeance. Make way for high hair and big shoulder pads!
