Marz says I am not the only one who tells her they're not all that keen to revisit the Seventies (worst decade of my life). (Or they say can't see the seventies through the smoke... I do remember a lot of folks spending most of their time high).
But the decade is coming at me from every direction, and actually I'm enjoying the associations.
The other night I binge-watched all 13 episodes of wonderfully funny Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (= only 5 hours, on Netflix), and one of the characters, an American Indian man, says something about how he can't go out east because it makes him cry to see the land.

[Positive review of the Native American supblot from Indian Country--(not everyone agrees).]
Anyway, if you were alive in the 70s, you probably get the reference, right?
The crying Indian in the 1971 Keep America Beautiful ad campaign against littering---my thing!
And my people, too, turns out.
The actor Iron Eyes Cody spent his adult life playing and even living as an Indian of Cherokee-Cree ancestry, but he was born to 100% Sicilian American parents.
Ha! Yeah, looking at him again, he looks a whole lot like my Uncle Tony.
Speaking of references to 1970s ads, do you get the reference of this Kirk piece by the wonderful Rabbittooth? (I didn't.)
It's a parody of the 1978 ad for Eveready batteries with Wild, Wild West star Robert Conrad daring you to knock the battery off his shoulder.
