1979 was when my bouncing baby boy was born. He was and still is the spitting image of his mother. He has always had a good heart. He is a great dad and I couldn’t be more proud of him. I love you Joe. Love, Mom 🙏🏻❤️
I'm another one who graduated in '79 and every classmate wrote in my yearbook "To Doug, a wild and crazy guy!". Everyone was wild and crazy like Steve Martin 🙂
I was 9 in 1979. I remember that year clearly. One of the things that stood out for me that year as a kid, The Sugarhill Gang's mega hit, Rapper's Delight, unprecedented.
I was 9 that year too. In my 9 year old mind I thought Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall was the best. But looking on the year as an adult the Iran Hostage Crisis and the result of gas prices going up and limiting how much gas you could buy was the biggest news.
The Dukes of Hazzard premiered on January 26, 1979, with the episode “One-Armed Bandits” and ended in 1985, lasting seven seasons. The Dukes would be part of an iconic Friday night lineup that consisted of The Incredible Hulk (until 1981; the final two episodes were aired in 1982 on a different night), Falcon Crest (1981 onward), and Dallas. The Dukes at one point were the second rated TV show behind Dallas and were a huge hit before Coy and Vance came in Season 5, causing the show’s decline. Despite Bo and Luke coming back later that season, the ratings weren’t like they once were and finally in 1985 they aired the last episode “Opening Night At The Boar’s Nest”.
I was born in 1979! I love the films, music, style, and look of that decade. I often wonder if maybe I'm reincarnated from someone who partied too hard in the '70s.
I graduated HS in 1979, so I lived through that decade. It wasn't that great the first time: The end of the Viet Nam War, The boring (very large, and very slow) cars of the last half of the decade, the Gasoline Crisis, Jimmy Carter's double digit inflation (21% interest on home loans), the Iran Hostage Crisis, Disco, bell bottom pants, platform shoes (that's about the only kind of shoes guys could buy, too)....I could go on, and on. Now, if you wanted to go back to a great decade, choose the 80s. THAT was a great decade to be alive and live through.
@@derekhall1934 Yes! I was a ballroom dancer and disco dancer. I was pretty good! A lot of dancers wanted me to teach them the disco steps. Which I did, I really enjoyed It! I love to dance. I plan on going back to it. I had surgery on my back. So I am doing back to it one step at a time I was semi professional
Right on. I met mine then, married in ‘81, and still hanging in there too😉. It seems like a miracle to people, eh? 🙃. And Derek, we didn’t. (I know you weren’t asking me, but if your curious) We liked Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, and the ilk.
I was one year old. But I still remember driving my parents car off in a creek in front of our home, as we were in the process of moving. All our stuff in the car. I only cried because mom did. My mother’s first near heart attack. Yes, I actually remember this. At a year and a half old. 1979. I remember you.
i was at 3 mile island the day it happened. might have been the only australian there. i was on a road trip across the usa in a lincoln continental mark 4. i have wonderful memories of that year.
1979 was my first year out of high school, after graduating in 78. I remember Battlestar Galactica and the Dukes of Hazard, and the fantastic music. I can still hear Led Zeppilin's, In the Evening in my head. In 79, I had made wine so good that bubbles formed everytime I opened a bottle. I had enlisted in the USAF as a fighter mechanic. I ratchet jawed on the 2 way. I most certainly remembered Solid Gold with Deon Warwick hosting. The great songs I best remember were, Lips Inc.: Funky Town, M: Pop Music, Blondie: Heart of Glass, Chris Cross: We Don't Talk Anymore, Donna Summer: Hot Stuff, and ELO: Don't Bring Me Down. My two most favorite years were 79&80 for music.
I was at Disco Demolishon night..I was 14 and my uncle took me as my 8th grade graduation gift..box seats 3rd base..I have the ticket stub and season sche..memories
On January 1, 1979 my mom told me that 1978 was over and it’s 1979 now. My 4-year-old mind had a hard time comprehending that 1978 was gone and never coming back.
I was born 6679.. Love it I'm Navajo Indian.. Ojut.. horse rider professional great grandson of chief manuelito.. An many times great grandson of hashkaninii..
What I remember the most about the year of 1979 I was still in High School 1 year before my graduation I was 18 years old. Just in the prime of my life. It would have been nice if I ever can go back and learn from mistakes and maybe studied harder in school both my grandparents were still alive including my parents and my brother
I went on vacation to NYC at the end of Dec. 1979 to celebrate New Year's Eve on Times Square. I took many pictures of and on the observation deck of WTC 2. Got many pics of the inside as well. Went to Studio 54 and the disco where "Saturday Night Fever" was filmed. Got pics of all of that, plus a lot from Times Square on NYE. The Village People had a show there, and I went to that too. Didn't rent a car---I took the subway. My husband had died in a car crash a couple of months before, and I had to get away from Phoenix for a bit. The shopping was awesome too, and I bought some going-out clothes and shoes, which I still have and wear (I'm thinner now than I was back then). I had a fantastic time, and everyone I met there was friendly, unlike Phoenix people. That is my favorite memory of 1979. (Jan Griffiths).
I’m a high school graduate and I’m in a summer film class and I’m writing a horror film that takes place in October of 1979 and this video helped me with some cultural references to the year my film takes place in
I was 2 years out of the army in 79 and still searching for a place in society. Now we recognise that this is a form of PTSD as the army teaches you to be a soldier but not a civillian, after.
I was 12 in 1979. I remember a lot of what you covered, just didn't care about it at the time LOL. But I do remember getting a Walkman for Christmas which really surprised me since I knew we were poor. Found out years later my Aunt and Grandma both skipped their lunches while at work for almost a year to save the money to buy it for me. I've always loved music and that gift just further solidified it.
I turned 17 and bought my first real stereo system, local FM station played The Wall in its entirety and I was able to record it on my new cassette deck.
This year 1979 was defently a huge year for me it was the year for which.i was born in..lol 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins is one of my fave songs for the obvious reason I just said but also ones very personal to me. Lots of very great memories I have. And for me all the fun started in 1979...😉
70's kid here-yeah this all happened but so did this... Space Invaders(first video arcade game), Pink Floyd's The Wall , Mork and Mindy (Robin Williams break out roll), Alien. Oh yeah and Skylab fell to earth. My favorite memory was skating to the corner store, listening to the Ramones Rock and Roll high school while stacking quarters on the new arcade machines...I was 13 and all I wanted to be was Riff Randle.
I was 9 years old that year, Playing with Star Wars toys, and watching Battlestar Galactica on TV. Remember seeing bits of what your video was talking about, but being a kid, to me it was adult problems and I ignored a lot of them
You missed New Wave being big. Blondie, The Knack and The Police all had big hits. At least, that's the first thing I thought of. Also, big year for horror flicks, Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and I think Amityville Horror. Also, Thurman Munson died in an airplane crash. Still liked the video though, Keep it up!
I am still a mad Blondie fan ...Parallel Lines and The Cars were my first 2 vinyl albums when I got a stereo in 1980 for my 9th birthday! But in 1979, I was being raised by my then 22 year old sister, hanging out with her friend Susan B. cruising all over Staten Island in her brown 1977 Camaro named Cinnamon, blasting The Cars playing on the 8 track, and going down the NJ shore (Long beach Is.) and watching WHT cable network, The Exorcist, screwed me up then too.
1979 was the year I loaned my special edition Electric Chairs RED vinyl album to someone, can't remember who, but it's been 41 dam years, give it back, willya.
I lived in Chicago in '79 and we had possibly the worst winter in the city's history. More than 7 feet of snow and super cold all winter. I was 19 with my first car but driving was sometimes tough.
I graduated high school back in 1979. There were two highly-anticipated albums released from groups whose previous albums were released in 1977 (stated in parenthesis): Early in the year, Supertramp's Breakfast in America (Even In The Quietest Moments), and toward the end of the year Pink Floyd's The Wall (Animals).
Pink Floyd's "The Wall" was life changing for me. Smoking weed in Clemson dorms while listening to "Comfortably Numb" and reciting dirty limericks. And none of was filmed and posted online
My favorite 1979 Memory was going to High School the day after a Cheap Trick Concert and dancing on my desk wearing my Tour Shirt singing "Surrender". I got suspended for a 2 days..
I was 6 years old in 1979 and I was in grade prep, that’s what we call the first year of primary school here in Australia. My dad still had the orchard back then and my first nephew was born. They were good times
Back in 79 the shorts that the basketball players wore or short Mount like today's but what is most memorable Unforgettable my father passed away January 1st 1979 that year sucked for me!
I was 11. I don’t specifically remember ‘79 events, those early years kind of blend together. The Iran hostage excerpt reminded me of the parody of The Beach Boys Song Barbara Anne titled Bomb Iran. Don’t know if that parody was from ‘79 but would have been soon after if not.
I turned 18 Rom Spaceknight the toy came out. Marvel Comics created a great comic around the toy. Even if the toy itself sadly flopped. It premiere Tuesday Sept 11th, 1979 ran until Jan of 1985. For 75 monthly issues and four yearly annuals.
I was in kindergarten in ’79. My school burned down at Christmastime. So I sang: “Joy to the World the school burned down…” which is funny because my parents were teachers and I ended up getting a Master’s degree.
I was in high school. New city new school. Those gas lines were ridiculous. You could only get fuel on certain days depending on whether your license plate ended in an even or odd number.
What do you remember most about the year 1979? 🤔
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Carter, unemployment, inflation, and disco.
I got married.

@@ebogar42 I think teens today are a lot more mature then the teens in my day
1979 had the greatest music, film and TV, I was 13 most of the year and it was a very iconic and brilliant time
Graduated from high school - Seniors of ‘79- mighty fine!!
I was 9 in 1979. I remember that year clearly. One of the things that stood out for me that year as a kid, The Sugarhill Gang's mega hit, Rapper's Delight, unprecedented.
It was everywhere.
Me too...9 yrs old and I STILL have the Sugerhill Gang album!
I was 9 that year too. In my 9 year old mind I thought Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall was the best. But looking on the year as an adult the Iran Hostage Crisis and the result of gas prices going up and limiting how much gas you could buy was the biggest news.
@@shaywestlake9709 Off the Wall is still his best album, in my opinion. That's where the surgeries should have stopped.
The Dukes of Hazzard premiered on January 26, 1979, with the episode “One-Armed Bandits” and ended in 1985, lasting seven seasons. The Dukes would be part of an iconic Friday night lineup that consisted of The Incredible Hulk (until 1981; the final two episodes were aired in 1982 on a different night), Falcon Crest (1981 onward), and Dallas. The Dukes at one point were the second rated TV show behind Dallas and were a huge hit before Coy and Vance came in Season 5, causing the show’s decline. Despite Bo and Luke coming back later that season, the ratings weren’t like they once were and finally in 1985 they aired the last episode “Opening Night At The Boar’s Nest”.
So, we had the start of the Dukes and the end of the Duke!
Graduated in 1979. Class songs to vote for were Freebird, I'd Love to Change the World. Carry on Wayward Son.
I Graduated In 1979.
I Was 18 Years Old.
me too. surprised I am still alive
I was a high school junior... cruising around in my ‘72 Grand Torino listening to the best rock music ever ... great times
Born in 1979, this is actually (at least) the second time I have watched this video. It is excellent, thank you.
The year that I was born. I don't remember any of it, but it's great to see what was happening during my first year on the planet.
You missed the movie premiere of, ALIEN in 79.
True, good add.
That is My favorite movie All time because I was born in 1979

I turned 18 Rom Spaceknight the toy came out. Marvel Comics created a great comic around the toy. Even if the toy itself sadly flopped. It premiere Tuesday Sept 11th, 1979 ran until Jan of 1985. For 75 monthly issues and four yearly annuals.
I was in kindergarten in ’79. My school burned down at Christmastime. So I sang: “Joy to the World the school burned down…” which is funny because my parents were teachers and I ended up getting a Master’s degree.
The year I was born!🤟
What was I up too in '79?
Growing, being born, sleeping, eating, pooping myself a lot and more growing.
I was in high school. New city new school. Those gas lines were ridiculous. You could only get fuel on certain days depending on whether your license plate ended in an even or odd number.
I was born almost right at the end of 1979.
The year I was born.
There was no mention of AC/DC's album Highway to Hell being released which would be Bon Scott's last recorded album before his untimely death.
4-week family road trip to California, Arizona, Nevada, etc.
Awesome! Road trips are the best 😎
78-79 was my Freshman year in High School
