retro 70's (last part)

Those were the Days my friends, na wala pang cellphone, Ipod, MP3, DVD, internet.. kuntento na kaming mga mga bagets noon sa radio cassete, betamax, penpal, fans club, gang's war, at talamak na rin nuon ang mga addict dahil kasikatan ng marijuana, LSD atbp.. pero walang naman "war freak" dahil sa sikat na slogan "Make Love, Not War" at "Peace Man!" Ako pabanda-banda na rin, kaya hindi kami nawawalan ng Jingle music magazine. Check this out baka maka-relate ka dito..
