BeenHereBefore 1,517 Posted October 1, 2023 The date is October 1st, 1977, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. People are currently enjoying their weekend. The summer is long gone. Temperatures have started to become much cooler and the evenings are beginning to get darker. Fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. There is also a fresh, earthy scent in the air. In America, the song Best Of My Love by Emotions is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Way Down by Elvis Presley is the number-one hit song. Jimmy Carter is the President of the United States, and the movie Star Wars is at the top of the box office. James Callaghan is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "All in the Family", "Kojak", "Barney Miller", and "Chips". 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 1977, the music charts are being dominated by the likes of The Eagles, Donna Summer, Wings, Boney M, Baccara, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand and Debby Boone. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Charlie Chaplin and Keith Moon would be still alive. People are playing video games such as "Tank", "Pursuit", "Gun Fight", and "Breakout". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", "Happy Days", "The Muppet Show", and "Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels". Children are playing with toys such as Operation, Lite-Brite, Micronauts, and Lego Technic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
