1979

Post by ladyparrothead »

I am trying to put together some fun facts/triva about the year 1979? Anyone have any good ideas? I was on the 'net all day and got some, but could use more. Fads would be nice. Thanks!

For trends, go to VH1.com and search for I love the 70's - 1979. I'm sure that could get you started.

Thanks Penny! I was on the "inthe70s" a bunch today, but missed the trivia questions. Now I don't have to think of some of the questions and answers.

It's the year I was born. Does that qualify me as a child of the 70's?
