America, 1970-1977

The 70s sucked.

I would argue that the cultural change seen in late 1970's early 1980's was part of the re-alignment.  Even prior aired drug jokes on The Tonight Show were censored in the early 1980's reruns.

Having lived through that, there was a marked cultural change.

Yes mainstream america was dropping off the precipice into a kind of soft fascism from around 81-85.. but like many such fin de siècle periods the art and culture was attaining a height (albeit about to be destroyed).  Not at all unlike Weimar Germany.

Wrongly used word.
