  6. The Sweethearts Rolling Rink

    In the autumn of 1972 Florida native Bill Yates was finishing up his final year of college studying photography. During this time he shot over 800 images at The Sweethearts Rolling Rink - enough to gain him admission to the graduate photography program at the Rhode Island School of Design. The negatives + proof sheets went into a box where they stayed for over 30 years, until resurfacing recently in a series of solo shows.

  13. "I'm in the lab all day / I Scrabble all night / I got a Bedazzler so my outfit's tight"

    I spotted a Bedazzler on the shelf of my favorite thrift store in Madison yesterday, and it made me think of Adrock's lyrics in "Shazam!"

  15. Did you ever create a time capsule? I made this one in 1976. Not sure if it was a school assignment (related to the bicentennial?), or just a fad, but I recently came across mine. The instructions are to open it 100 years from this year. I can't decide what to do. Do I open it? Do I pass it along to my grand nephew? Do I see if the Ballston Spa Historical Society wants it? What would you do? #TimeCapsule #1976 #CharlesChips #TheSeventies #BallstonSpa

  18. The episode stars Robert Loggia as Sha Ali Ben Gazim of the fictional middle-eastern nation of Almain, and Lance “James At 15” Kerwin as his son. Casting doesn’t get much worse than that. #TheSeventies imdb.com/title/tt0526180

  19. || Didn't need no welfare state,
    Everybody pulled his weight.
    Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
    Those were the days. ||

    Archie Bunker in the early 1970s sung about how great the 1940s were for Americans and how terrible the 1970s were. Curiously, it's become fashionable in the last couple decades to claim North America was at some kind of cultural and economic peak in the 1970s.

  21. In the winter of 1971 photographer Jim McCrary photographed Carole King for her Tapestry album. Remembering a Kodak survey that said cats were the most popular subject people photographed (after their own children), McCrary asked if he could add the sleeping cat on the other side of the room to the scene. Telemachus, the cat, only remained for three pictures ... but that was enough.

    That image, and the album's music have been ingrained in my mind. I've always tried to make Tapestry the first album I play when I move into a new home because that's exactly how I want my home to feel.

  22. April 15, 1970 a march to Harvard square protesting the Viet Nam war turned to riots

    The number of protesters was estimated to be around 1,500 when they entered Harvard Square at 7pm. At 7:20pm, the street lights were turned off and police formed a blockade. Some protesters started rioting, throwing bricks, smashing windows, setting fires and taunting Harvard University students watching from their dormitories. About 2,000 police officers started charging the protesters at 8:19pm, firing tear gas. The streets were cleared at about 1am and the National Guard soldiers dismissed at 2am. A curfew imposed that evening was lifted at 6am.

    314 people were treated for injuries, including 35 policemen. Damages were estimated at $100,000.

    Future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was at this event, and says it was a catalyst for his disillusionment with leftist movements and began his turn to conservatism.
