As I recall in the early 70's most poly pop was morphed into weirdness like we see. Just look at the cars being puked on the public, for gosh sakes; Torinos? Pintos and the Cordoba? (Corinthian leather!) Like today, designers and artists were running to the paycheck rather than going deep to the bone and calling upon the marrow of their discipline. To prove my point consider, More early 70's; The honeymoon was over for the Summer of Love, The Beatles released their last song and the release of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album. In the theaters, 1969 brought the counter-cultural Easy Rider and by 1971 we had slipped to Melvin Van Peebles' groundbreaking Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song! And who wishes they could forget Billy Jack.
