I was born in 72 so i grew up in the 70s and i do not remember it well but i do remember it. my Father had retired from the military and me and him were on about a 2 year long road trip in a van, and i just remember driving through America and long long stretches of desolate highway in the middle of nowhere and maybe on other car driving by every ( Read more... )
