Default Ledgies from the late 70s: memories?

Not about Rumours, or Tusk, and that's why this thread is here.

But any other memories during the Rumours lineup golden era..

I mean, movies like A Star is Born, Saturday Nigh Fever, Grease were on the top. The disco music, discos like Studio 54 and all the "decadence" were the fever.

Now I see SNF and realize it wasn't big deal, though I still like Grease. But in that moment I was 12 and everybody was cutting their long hairs for a Tony Manero haircut. And there were the white suits.

Now it seems everybody hate that stuff, but at that moment I think there were lot of people that loved it. It happens with many things (music, movies, fashion), if you get oversaturated, you stop loving it for hating it.

At least in Peru, Beta system was more popular than VHS. Don't know in other countries.

Terrorism was something that looked to happen very far (in Peru we have terrorist years, but in the mid 80s to early 90s, not anymore).

Dolby sound was the best one. Home theatres, Dolby digital 5.1 or Prologic didn't exist. Cell phones were a fantasy. As microwaves.

Star Wars was THE movie. As Jaws.

And no AIDS..
Big cities were less violent, at least Lima was. You could left your car in the street the whole night. Now everybody needs a garage.

Not sure if life was easier then. Maybe some things were, others not I guess.
