Classified 1A also and had to take my physical getting ready to be drafted and thank goodness Nixon's Congress eliminated the draft. Vietnam still went on for a couple of years but I'm still around where some of my friends didn't return. <br />By the way in 1971 I was working for minimum wage $1.35 an hour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154035949983699167.post-70314285137519218062015-02-21T13:41:46.303-05:002015-02-21T13:41:46.303-05:00That's rare early, pre-"ego-glam" El...That's rare early, pre-"ego-glam" Elton in the post-hippie, working-class rocker, early'70's uniform: plain levi's & blue chambray "work shirt".<br />"Tumbleweed Connection", his most interestingly melodic & lyrical record, is on the wall. <br />His high-point, artistically, IMO.<br />His mum reminds me of Malcom McDowell's blue-haired, vinyl-booted fashion victim mother in "Clockwork Orange".

I graduated from college in 1974. The unemployment rate was 8.1% but much worse for white collar jobs and I ended up driving a cab for 4 years until I landed my first real career oriented job which paid $10,000 a year. That's $200 a week before taxes for those of you with a liberal arts degree. In 1971, I was classified 1A with the draft board for the year and they drafted 70% of those eligible. Most of those drafted went to Viet Nam and many of those have now been dead for 40+ years. The unemployment rate continued along with the high interest rates and very high inflation. In 1974 the prime interest rate was 11.75% which means a mortgage loan rate was between 14 and 20%. Under Jimmy Carter's watch, the prime rate capped out at (hold on to your hats!) 20%. How would you like to apply for a 25% mortgage? Unemployment didn't start really dropping until 1983 and it has gotten lower and lower until it's now 5.6%. The prime interest rate is now 3.25%. To say that we had it easier is to not do any homework at all and to talk straight from what you wish was true. Opportunity has never been better in every way. Maybe you would like your theory to be true because it provides an excuse for your miserable career failure so far, but a thing isn't true because you wish it so. Next time do your homework before you spout opinion and back up your opinions with facts.Lcook1227https://www.blogger.com/profile/00782325779317326643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154035949983699167.post-89031801797493502152015-01-16T06:49:41.687-05:002015-01-16T06:49:41.687-05:00Pardon me for popping your bubble, but that frank ...Pardon me for popping your bubble, but that frank Zappa pic is altered.
