Mid 70s was about the time I entered my teen years. I think our age group was even more angsty than the 60s, because by that time, there was no real "cause" to get behind.
You got it correct, single malt is good
And so is bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, hash browns, toast and/or a fried slice

I started listening to him some years ago. His cover of Africa was my introduction to him.

My age group of teens and young adults in the 90s had "suck it" with crotch chops going on. Our music was the first labeled with warning stickers. And we still accepted "sticks and stones" as a fact of life.
After that, I really don't get how anyone claims kids have gotten worse. Its like we went from crotch chops to PC censorship to cancel culture.
What I have found interesting is that a lot of the movies and TV shows which were popular in the 1970s and early 80s have been roundly criticized and deemed "politically incorrect" (a phenomenon which really didn't start to come about until the late 80s/early 90s). Movies like Sixteen Candles and Revenge of the Nerds have been revisited and have gotten some scathing criticisms from the younger crowd. Or even reruns of TV shows like All in the Family have to carry viewer warnings which we didn't need back in the 70s.
I've noted that scenes of people smoking in grocery stores and restaurants are quite baffling to the younger crowd, where they wonder aloud if it was really like that back then.

I was watching some movies, and I forgot how smokey things ised to be in real life and on screen. Smoking or non was the norm. Now, the time I spent a night in Oklahoma City, I was thoroughly disgusted at the hotel by what was a routine question at one point. And definitely its something I don't miss.
One young reviewer got all worked up over the language in Blazimg Saddles, thought it was just too harsh to hear those words, and was so certain that never will we see the movie uncensored on TV because it's just too much. Well, I have seen the movie in its full glory on TV since that article was written.
More recently I've heard how American History X is allegedly a bad movie. For reasons that basically biol down to Derek not being an idiot and using reasons, points, and logic that many like him have used (as he's definitely not the stereotyped backwoods, illiterate, bumpkin of stereotype).

I am looking into additional income opportunities.
Basically just as long as I get to do whatever sans supervision, bosses, uniforms, and imposed schedules.
And I am reminded once, how I attempted to apply for an at-home transcriptionist job some years ago. Basically, it was impossible to get people to shut the **** up and leave me alone for the 15 or so minutes I needed to apply and take a typing test. But I couldn't get very long to type uninterrupted, I couldn't get people to shut up to hear what I was to type, so I didn't apply. (I almost want a work at home job just to justify me being a raging ***** to people who come to me with their bull**** while I'm trying to work)

Yup. When I was growing up I was a 'free range' kid. We wandered between houses, played baseball in the street, played 'war' (yes, war) with associated "you're dead", "you missed" arguments, climbed trees and had snow forts in the winter.
All the moms (1950's remember) kept an unspoken collective watch in case there were falls, bruised knees and the like.
It’s tired here.

I hope he closes his browser before he falls asleep. We don't want him sleeping with us.
One of the all time funniest video game scenes. Unfortunately there is some dirty language and talk about ladies and fine gentlemen, but top and most famous insult is thus: "You camel-mannered tunic-wetting mollycoddle!" To those with English as second language this dialogue is a parody of old style English conversation in middle age films. The actors are taking it to the limit.
