Quote from: AmericanGirl on December 01, 2009, 09:12:16 PM Well I'm not sure when they first got popular, but IMO sideburns were popular throughout the 70's. As a teen girl during the 70's, I tended to notice such things.  A good lookin' guy with nice sideburns - ooh la la!     Lol. Did you like the uber-long Elvis burns like muttonchops or like the more moderate, say mid ear...

 I copy/pasted below a bunch of top 100 singles that I dug from '73 from the Cashbox charts (I was 10, so cut me some slack). All below still hold a strong nostalgic value for me, but I italicized the tunes I really liked back then and bolded the ones I still dig today: TIE A YELLOW RIBBON ROUND THE OLE OAK TREE – Tony Orlando & Dawn, BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN – Jim Croce , DELTA DAWN – Helen Reddy , CROCODILE ROCK...

   The antiquated movie house in Vallejo (The Empress).  I think it had a single screen.  Last flick I saw there was a double feature in 1985 and it closed shortly after.  I do remember it being converted onto a night club and bar for awhile...    Also in Vallejo was the Cine 3.  Last flick I watched there was Stephen King's "Misery" in...

the town in the UK I grew up in had two cinemas when I was very young.  (My parents remember two others). Anyway one had just a single screen (it closed sometime in the early seventies and became a bingo hall).  The other cinema has always had a few screens.  In the seventies and eighties it had four screens (two large for the 'big' films and two smaller ones).  At some point in the...

I dunno...maybe it was Dolly Pops???
