Here’s the text in case it’s hard to read:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Going back in time to the Seventies?
\nCan I go too? Take me back, please!
\nBack to the days of mainstream weird
\nAfro hair and Lennon’s beard.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Pastel clothes, Puerto Rican chic
\nleisure suited longhaired freak.
\n“Look at me, I’m with it, man!
\nNonconformist deadhead fan.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Bicentennial patriot;
\nBilly Beer fought Jim’s brain rot.
\nDisco kings and queens enthroned
\nBright bug vans shook while lovers moaned.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Cheap cassette tapes stockpiled tunes.
\nNam war ended none too soon.
\nNixon met his Watergate.
\nFor Chevy’s gang we stayed up late.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We grew, matured, endured, enjoyed.
\nOne moment down, then spirits buoyed.
\nChange never seemed quite so pronouced,
\nuntil the early Eighties pounced.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Now all that seems so long ago.
\nJust traces now, memories’ glow.
\nAll those years, each one, all ten.
\nThat time will never come again.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
