I was born in 61 and I was so lucky. Not old enough for Vietnam, a no fluff education, spent the 70's in my teens, rocked out to some of the best rock music ever, dipped my toes into disco hated it at the time but I love it now, saw the rise of punk rock, watched the moon landing live. The gals were dressed better than any other generation and WOW! so hot. Can't forget the mobile love machines. I served in the Navy under Reagan which was the best time for our military. Oh and no F'N political correctness or woke culture!!!

Graduated in 76. Married now forty one years to the girl I was with my senior year. It was an incredible time to be alive. Best music decade. Best car decade. Best van years. My first van was a 64 Econoline from the phone company auction. No side windows. An eclectic interior of shag carpet velvet and vinyl. A bunch of speakers and a bed. The girls were so fine then no tattoos, or piercings. Sun bleached hair no make up, just a tan. I so want to go back.

I can relate to this stuff..I had a VW bus all tricked out (well, no heat and no a/c ha ha) with a large bed and fine sound system. I owned it from 1980-1985 and had many times on beaches in FLA and out in AZ. I actually lived it in for over 2 years. I'd love to go back, but don't know of any time machines. Very fine tune this is.

At 58, I really loved returning to the 70's 'in my mind' watching this video. I can't stop thinking about how simple things were, when you were able to actually think and enjoy those around you. And the world didn't know every single thing about you or what you were thinking, and you didn't know about them either...AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! Damn the Internet, social media and cell phones. Yes, productive tools, but we have proven how destructive misused tools can be. Lord how I miss simpler times...

64 Econoline abig bed in the back bean bags in the middle. More speakers than sense scattered around. Side doors open down by the lake at night. Smokey nights and hazy dreams. High school sweetheart still around. This song was an anthem to those days in the 70's. At 64 I wake up everyday longing for those simple underappreciated times. I look at the tv , listen to the radio and I can't find a second of any day that even feels remotely like those. So glad I was alive then and maybe heaven has a place where the vans still hangout. Won't be too long now....

In 1974 I was 15 years old. The custom van craze was in full swing and I was lucky enough to work in a car/van customizing shop. We built so many cool vans out of that shop and at age 16 I got a 74 Dodge Tradesman, metalflake orange, custom interior, Cragers and Thrush sidepipes and was allowed to travel with the van group to my first weekend "Van In" in Louisville, KY. and I listened to this song so many times on the drive, over the 3 days of naked craziness and all the way home. Sammy wrote a great song with this one. Love it to this day.

I’ve lived part of 8 decades we had the best music in the 60s and 70s plus the best cars and some of the hottest women….we had Woodstock and started the van craze. I still listen to the great music of the 60and 70s and still drive a van.

I was a sophomore in high school when this came out and we had all just gotten our drivers licenses. The older brother of one of my best friends had a tricked out Chevy Van with a table that folded into a bed and the obligatory "If this van's a rockin don't come knockin" bumper sticker. That van was notorious. This song was every young man's fantasy when it came out. Were we all hoping the song was going to be about us.

Thanks for a great video. I was a teenager in the seventies and remember those vans being popular. Sadly, the women don't look like that anymore, or have that free spirit either. I had a girlfriend or two like these back then. I wish I would have appreciated it more at the time.
