My interpretation of how my subconscious reacts (all in about 1.25 seconds) when the 1970's are mentioned:
Me: 1973.... ah yes, 30 years ago
Also me: think again dude, 1973 was longer ago than that
Me: what? OK, I guess it was more like 40 years
Also me: nope, try 50 years!
Me: no way!
Also me: yes!
Me: oh man, you're right! Sigh.....

LOL! I have the same experience with the 1980's!
When I think of the 70's though my first three immediate thoughts are:
Disco Star Wars Ford Pinto
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel. Romanian born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor. 1928 - 2016.
Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

A great scene from a classic movie.
