When Silicon Valley Was Young

[Mr.Bee]

3. Now Let's Think More About The Seventies

Comon boys and girls, gather round, listen to an old guy tell you how things worked in his day...
Well I graduated high school where we had discussion classes called 'Social Studies'
Oh! That word - 'Social' - where we discussed climate change, back then we called it 'global warming'...

The first president I voted for was George McGovern, closest thing we had to a Bernie Sanders.
Me and my schoolmates were ready to be drafted to Vietnam, then they repealed in 1973,
so I went to work at $2.00 an hour, 35¢ over the minimum wage.
I was employed and I went to the doctor and I don't remember ever having to pay a bill.
If I did it was some ridiculous amount like $5 or $8...
I later went to four years community college for $18 admission, $25 textbook, used one at that!
-and we had a brand-new smooth 280-680 freeway to drive to my girlfriend's house.
