The eggs have spoken.
That's right. Friends, today is the 28th anniversary of my birth! (At least that's the number my friends and I are sticking to....)
Long time Lost Luggage readers will remember my 80's flashback segments. Today is special- I'm going to take you on a little trip deep into the 70's! When I was born:
Representatives of 23 western oil companies begin negotiations with OPEC in Tehran to stabilize oil prices. February 14 they sign a treaty with 6 Persian Gulf countries. (Obviously that didn't work.)
In Los Angeles, Charles Manson and three female "Family" members are found guilty of the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders.
A new stock market index called the Nasdaq debuts.
May 12 - An earthquake in Turkey destroys most of the city of Burdur
Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin become the first to ride in a lunar rover, a day after landing on the Moon.
Walt Disney World opens in Florida
Richard Nixon is President
The top songs of 1971:
You’ve Got a Friend – James Taylor
Joy To The World – Three Dog Night
Brown Sugar – Rolling Stones
Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin
Imagine – John Lennon
Behind Blue Eyes – the Who
What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye
Proud Mary – Ike and Tina Turner
Friends – Elton John
Maggie May – Rod Stewart
Thank you all so much for your friendship! I love seeing that you come to visit. No big plans today...just taking it easy. See you tomorrow!
( PS- The title of this post refers to this post here. )

Happy Birthday to you! I am a 70's baby too - it was great to see the song list - brought back lots of memories!
Glad to hear you had a nice Mother's Day!
Now that certainly would have been a saucy nightgown!

Happy Birthday! I hope it's filled with love, laughter, and loads of loot.
Your post caused flashbacks here AND I can sing all the words of every one of those songs, yet I can't remember what I did ten minutes ago.
Anyways, have a great day!

Happy Birthday to YOU.
I thought for sure I had you listed in my side bar - but I didn't. I am so glad you posted again... and I am making sure to put your blog there now. I love the flashbacks you posted... they are quite wonderful indeed. I was recently thinking about my era and doing the same thing.... I hope you have a wonderful birthday, you wonderful creative being! Hugs, Maralena

I was wondering what those eggs were gonna say. Happiest of birthday wishes to you, my creative friend. I love the 70's as much as the 80's...both decades had fantastic music. I laughed out loud about your comment on OPEC. Have some cake for me.
