The 70's were on about a month ago same time every night. Very nostalgic and quite a few names now not with us.

Although more dangerous etc it does seem on the face of it to have been a "golden age". Much more laid back etc and not so much back stabbing/money grabbing.
Then Bernie turns it into a cash cow business machine, and you cannot help but think so much style and charisma was lost forever. Look at the girlfriends/wifes on the pit wall etc and it was not so much of a job but more of a lifestyle. ( albeit a dangerous one claiming too many to young).
