The World We Knew: August 1974

- Опубликовано: 17 мар 2024
- NOTE: Starting next week, The World We Knew will become The America We Knew: Same format, all USA (As if it wasn't 99 percent all-American anyway!) Forthcoming episodes will begin to increase in length as the proliferation of VCRs allows for a more detailed record of a culture that is nearly 50 years gone.

Absolutely love love this! I miss the times we had in ‘74. We weren’t innocent by any means, but the world wasn’t as crazy as it is today. Thanks again for bringing me back to a less hectic time.
Happy to oblige, Maribeth. I have found some real gems future episodes.
Blame Donald Trump for the craziness
@@dwightpowell6673Well there were no wars under Trump. The hearings in DC showed Biden did mess up the withdrawal from Afghanistan according to his own former General. But there would have been no war in the Ukraine and little Kim was in check. Now Iran is more powerful than ever and no one watching if they are making nukes guess Biden doesn't care about inspectors going there.12 million walking into this country and the half a million that took off running. Now a federal judge put in place by Obama in Ill. is allowing the migrants to purchase firearms. That is against the law and the constitution. Joe has allowed an invasion of the US the Geni is out of the bottle now good luck for the US to survive.
The entire summer of '74 to cheer up a Monday morning, thanks Fred! Only there was no sound with the Rich Little clip. 👍
Good to know, Robert. I can hear it, though.
You scared me, Fred. I thought no more videos from you.
Thanks 👍
I'm not going anywhere, Gary!
That would be scary. Fred is our Nobel Laureate of pop culture
I greatly enjoy your videos and channel Fred. I look forward to seeing everything you do here.
@@williamfarmer9204I appreciate that, William.
You're welcome Fred. You keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching them.
Thanks, Fred. I was 20. Brings back memories.
You're welcome, Cynthia. We're about the same age.
Now this is America that I remember!
I just found this one. What a memory...my friends and I were underage, about 15, and desperately wanted to see The Longest Yard. We stood out in the parking lot asking people to get us into the theater after we'd been turned away. Finally some man agreed... 😋
Thanks for the wonderful memories(I was a teenager back then)!😯💯👍!
You're welcome, Frank.
I'm really glad you decided to save the entire _California Split_ promo for posterity. Thanks!
You're welcome, Firebrand.
Glad to see you are still working on these; I enjoy them, and am looking forward to the new format.
Thanks, rtt1961.
Right on! Some Canadian content. BTO was Canadian and St Thomas Drive was only 20 miles from me in London Ontario.
BTO is out on tour this year , sans a few original members.
And Rich Little at 4:48. Hails from Ottawa.
Thanks Fred! You make me smile! I ADORE the "rock me gently" song!!!!! One of my all time faves! ❤
I graduated from high school in '74. This brings it all back. Very well done and immensely entertaining!
Thank you, Susan.
Enjoy reminiscing with you Fred. Thank you 👍
You're welcome, Mark.
Thank you, Fred, and I am happy you are changing the name of your series, to The America We Knew, as whatever happened in your country, political wise or pop cultural wise, in the past, affected most of the western world, Canada included.
I agree, Tracy. And there are plenty of cultural touchstones from other countries (such as ABBA) that became popular in America. And if it didn't...well, I don't care about it.
These are great! I was in high school and this brings back so many memories of those good times. Thanks Fred
You're welcome, Debbie.
April 23, 1974 Green Bay, WI Montrose with Sammy Hagar, REO Speedwagon, and the incredible headliners, Black Oak Arkansas. What a show!
1974 - I was 14 - GREAT YEAR to be a teenager!
August 74 was a really good month. Just turned 11 - THANKS for refreshing the memories!
The Longest Yard is one of all time favorite films.
You ended this series on another wonderful video!!! I am looking forward to the new series!!!! Thank you for giving us these sweet looks back
You're welcome, Bridget. You're going to be amazed at the gesI have found.
As aways Fred thank you. I was in the Marine Corps at Norton Air Force Base, CA, getting ready to be flown to Okinawa when I heard this speech from President Nixon. Semper Fi.
Much appreciated, UV7316.
Love these! Thank you for allowing us to relive some of our past. I was a sophomore in HS 1974. 😊❤
You're welcome, jetpi78.
A month and year I'll never forget. I turned 21 on the 6th and in the Army stationed in Kitzingen, Germany. What great memories. Thanks, Fred.
You're welcome, Richard.
I began my radio career in 1974 at CJTR in a city between Montreal and Québec City...retired in 2011 and thanks for all the memories and vids!!!😎🇨🇦
You're welcome, Guy.
No one does it better than my big brother Fred!
Flashing back to a world I once knew, and boy do I miss it!
As do I, 5arge.
August 8th, 1974, I entered the world! Little did I know then the ride of a life I was in for!
Coincidentally, I’m the same age as you. Love your videos. Elementary and high school I’ve long forgotten but now cherish. Those were the days,
We were born at just the right time, Riff.
This World we knew videos are awesome..Please do a whole series from1962 to 1982... Great format too...like a time machine
I wish I could go back to kid times in 1974! Takin care of business!
Fred you scared me too! Thanks for another great month, you spoil us man ❤😊
You're welcome, Doug.
The music was so good back then! So many classic movies and great actors! I miss the phone books, cool magazines, comics.
I have the original headlines of those events saved too. Imagine that! I remember seeing Nixon wave as he stood there ready to board the plane, on the news. Great job Fred!
Thank you for these!
You Rock! This is the Grooviest channel ever! Thank You bunches! ☮️✌️😁
You're welcome, pastholay, and thanks for the groovy and far-out feedback!
@@FredFlix 🤣🤣FAR OUT!
Can’t wait to see your new videos. Thank you.
You're welcome, l j.
Great video! Brought back memories of my childhood. The clip of Nolan Ryan reminded me of that '74 Red Sox season and the team's infamous season-ending collapse, losing the division title to Baltimore. As a lifelong New Englander it was sheer pain! But even with the collapse it was still a great year to be 12 years old! Thanks again!😄
You're welcome, David.
EXCELLENT !!! AS ALWAYS !! THANKS !!
I was 14 that summer. I remember asking my dad if the country was in trouble without a president. He assured me, the country will survive. The rest of the 70s were the best years of my life.
I Remember When President Nixon Resigned And Appointed Vice President Ford To Take His Place! It's Mind-boggling How 50 Years Has Gone By So Fast!
Nicely done, Sir!
Thanks, Nick.
You are number one in my book. Thank you !!
You're welcome, Marsha, and that's so nice of you to say!
August 1974, starting college next month ... 2 years late.
Thanks Fred 👍
You're welcome, sonnytoo.
Thanks Fred.
You're welcome, Fred.
I had that exact same Chevy wagon long ago, same color etc.. These memory lane videos fly by for me, they are so good. RL,JB audio good here.
Thanks, Phillip.
Summer of 74 spent a fews days at expo 74, learned how to drive, and getting ready to enter high school hoping it would be better than jr. high it was by far.
@1:40 in the segment, during the "Longest Yard" promo is a shot of Sonny Sixkiller, who was native American (Cherokee) who was actually a star QB for the U. of Washington for 3 years in the early 70's. I was 14 years old in 74. What great memories of growing up in the 70's. Thanks for this great chanel.
You're welcome, Dwayne.
Many baseball fans -- and Chicago Cubs fans -- forget that Harry Carey used to be the voice of the White Sox in the 1970s and early 1980s, as your clip of Dick Allen breaking up Nolan Ryan's no hitter attests.
I can’t wait for December. That was my birthdate.👍🏻❤️
Love the tailgate on the Caprice Estate Wagon at 4:52 !
Oh Neil Diamond! Had a bunch of his 45’s
The seventies made the sixties look good!
I'll agree with that, CG. Then again, the 2000s have made the '70s look good.
I was 11 in 74. Watergate all over the TV that summer.
Registered for Draft
Thanks Fred. I looked at these in reverse order I guess!
.Tom, that do never I
@@FredFlix ha ha
Good work 👍📺🇺🇸
Thanks, wheeler71.
In 1974 we were the only house on the county rd... today there's a whole subdivision...sad
Awesome!
Thanks, HP.
Before 1974, as a young child, I was always taught to respect the president and believe that he is working for us all. Then Watergate came along and really disillusioned my generation.
Miss those station wagons!
People were more civilized. Back then people weren't so touchy and easily offended. I went to high school not worried that I'd be shot. Trouble was around but you could avoid it if you didn't go looking for it. Nowadays you could be shot changing your car's oil in your driveway.
Politics was big in those years drama all over.
I remember the whole Nixon ordeal. The trip back is always appreciated, Fred.
I'm glad, Robert.
Philippe Petit's unauthorized highwire act was 1, 312 feet high!
I was in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada the day Nixon resigned. We were visiting my Aunt Bert. A terrific vacation, most of all because I got to sit on top of a Sherman tank at Ontario Place. Had Nolan Ryan been playing for a good team, like Baltimore or Cincinnati, that would have been a no-hitter. The Angels were not a good team. I have always loved Jack Benny, but it was years later that I learned he had died *shrugs* More wonderful memories brought out by a FredFlix production. Thanks Fred.
You're welcome, Doug. Shoulder shrugs?
@@FredFlix that is took so long for me to know that Jack had passed. I mean wasn't quite 9 years old when it happened. Only things I read in the newspaper back then were the ball scores and comic strips.
America was the only world I knew.
It's so unrecognizable now .
Jack Benny looks like Kevin Spacey I that clip.
Freddie you must have been a BIG boy by then weren't you?
I was 19 but not so big.
He was nicer when he was in Hooterville.
I got out of the Marines, got married and started my post Vietnam life.
I have Macon County Line in my archives. It's actually not a bad flick, and "Jethro Bodine" being a bad sherrif wasn't expected...
He made a ton of money from that.
@@FredFlix He did do a good job with the character. Return to Macon County was a waste I thought. Really nothing in common with the first one..
Was OUI magazine any better than Penthouse or Playboy? Guess i'll never know. 😕
Thanks, FredFlix.
It wasn't.
Not really I had copies of that when I was a kid I guess it was just about the same all the kids used to buy screw newspaper that really shows the stuff
Elliot Gould and George Segal... they couldn't be sexier and with nothing in common but me. 🤭
I promise I didn't know B Reynolds was coming on this vid. Re: Cosmo spread I mentioned on July's vid. 😲 🤷🏽♀️💜🤟
If only Bobo could do the same as Nixon
I find it interesting that the final Installment of "The World We Knew" has a very unique Canadian flavor. Music by both Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO) and Andy Kim (who know goes by his indigenous North American First Nations name Barren Longfellow as well as being the lead singer of the "Archies" on "Sugar Sugar"). But the big thing is the drive-in movie advertisement for "Papillon" (Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman) which likely came "The London Free Press." How did a boy with his ties to South Carolina find that one? I grew up about a 20 minute drive from the St.Thomas Drive-In. It usually featured second run movies as shown here (Paillon was released during the Christmas 1973 movie season). I went to the St. Thomas Drive-In many times during my youth, and it burned down in the mid 1980's, after which the Mason's bought the property and built a Masonic Temple on it. What I remember most fondly from the St. Thomas Drive-In was when driving back to London,, ON from an evening of smelt fishing off the peer at Port Stanley on Lake Erie, you could get about a one minute glimpse of the movie playing on the screen at the St. Thomas Drive-In as you passed it by. I saw the movie "Grease" there for the first time too.
That is a very cool connection to see hear on the youtube... 50 years later.
TF, I find stuff the way anyone can now: The Internet.
Andy Kim isn't First Nations and Barron Longfellow was just a stage name. His real name is Andrew Youakim and he was born in Montreal to Lebanese immigrants. He co-wrote "Sugar, Sugar" with Jeff Barry and only sang backups on the record (he never sang lead). Ron Dante, lead singer of The Cufflinks, sang lead on every Archies record except for 1971's "Love Is Living In You", which was sung by Bob Levine, who co-wrote the song.
You mean the whole Barren Longfellow thing was a bunch of crap? Just like Buffy St. Marie saying she is First Nations but is actually an Italian from Massachusetts.@@CountBrockula66
Yes that's true Ron Dante sang lead on just bout every Archie song@@CountBrockula66
I was 10 when President Nixon resigned, and Gerry Ford took over.
Lucy as Mame< Insert fingers down throat at the thought.
USA is ALL that matters especially back then.
My sister and I watched Heathcliff cartoons after school in 1985. Mel Blanc was the voice of the cat. The Garfield cartoons had better jokes. They also poked fun of social ills in our culture.
I like the heathcliff cartoons better than Garfield
Another good one. I don't usually mention politics, but Biden makes Nixon look like an angel. Macon County Line. A great little low-budget movie. A favorite of mine. 👍
You mean trump.
@@kathleencollins5531 , let's see, B-i-d-e-n. Nope, I spelled it correctly.
Oui!
