Title: Time Traveling to 1973
Author: Robert E. Miller
Date: 2023
ISBN: 9798365608351
Length: 94 pages
Quote: "The Watergate Scandal
began in June of 1972."
Here's another volume in a series of souvenir books collecting the news and pop culture from specific years, intended as gifts for people born in the chosen year or inspiration to authors writing fiction set in that year. There's a full chapter of memorable photo advertisements that appeared in magazines, along with chapters summarizing the big world news stories, bestselling songs, movies, books, statistics about prices and employment, sports events, fashions in clothes and cars and decor, and more.
Wholesome, frivolous fun, these books take up enough memory to create problems in uploading them as e-books. Order printed copies. You'll want to pass them around and reminisce--everybody knows somebody who remembers 1973.
While the top of the pop songs of 1973 aren't remembered as favorites (and, other than Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," the top LP's were mostly retrospective collections), some things that started in 1973 have lingered in our culture today. Nobody remembers, because they were not instantly popular, but 1973 was the year mobile phones were invented...
