@masque : Remember the year because very stressful and difficult. My Mom died in June and I was 22 years old out of college and starting to work full time.

@masque I remember it well! our DS was 8 and he and dad went to see Star Wars. He came home all jazzed up saying "mom you have to see this." So the three of us went the next day (Sunday). All in all DS saw this movie at least 4 or 5 times with us and with friends who took our son and theirs.

One of the best years of my life.

Thank you for a reminder (much needed these days).

In my neck of the woods, a gallon of vit D milk is cheaper than it was in 1977 at Walgreens, Shoprite & CVS!

I was at a movie theater when I watched a "sneak preview" of Star Wars. I remember that day like it was yesterday yet, I cannot remember the movie I actually went to see.

@masque Thanks for the post! I saw Star Wars for the first time in 1977, and on December 31, 1977 I got married! Both unforgettable events, but one involved hyperspace! Hahahaha!

Wow. Makes me feel old. I finished my first round of grad school that summer. I remember they cancelled the Elvis concert cuz he died. Sad.

I did go see Star Wars but was never really enamoured with it.

I was in grade school and I did watch all those t.v. shows.

I also liked Andy Gibb's music and used to tape record music

from the radio onto little cassette tapes.

@SouthernBee - A very sad year for me too. My mom died in May, a few days before Mother's Day. I was 24 and working on Wall St. Can't believe it was 44 years ago.

I was 23 and went to a lot of concerts during that time.

I was 21...wow. I was going through pictures of my family recently since we sold our childhood home. My mom photographed everything and while we complained then, I love her for it now. Yes, drinking, smoking, in night clubs 4 nights a week and yes, I had a full time office job so I lost a lot of sleep. But at 21, it never showed. Gosh we were so beautiful. Now I lose two hours and my eyelids rest on my lower lashes!

I had a blast at every concert I could get those $10 tickets to and was a freebird. Glad I did what I did...no regrets. Thanks for the memory.
