BeenHereBefore 1,517 Posted September 16, 2023 The date is September 16th, 1978, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. People are currently enjoying their weekend. Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste of Honey is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Three Times A Lady by Commodores is the number-one hit song. Jimmy Carter is the President of the United States, and the movie Animal House is at the top of the box office. James Callaghan is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In fashion, clothes have become baggier and pants have become less flared. Sports clothing and the "disco look" are both popular at the moment. Women are wearing sundresses, strapless tops with t-shirts, shoulder pads, cardigans, knee-length skirts and daisy dukes. Meanwhile, men are wearing tracksuits, flare jeans, low-top sneakers and untucked collared shirts. Because it's 1978, the music charts are being dominated by the likes of the Bee Gees, John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John, the Village People, Boney M and Andy Gibb. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Sid Vicious and John Wayne would be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Six Million Dollar Man", "Welcome Back, Kotter", "Eight Is Enough", and "The Love Boat". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Pursuit", "Gun Fight", "Breakout", and "Space Invaders". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Captain Kangaroo", "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", "The Pink Panther Show", and "Mork & Mindy". Popular toys at the moment include Twister mat, Lite-Brite, Risk board game, and Speak & Spell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
