It all makes sense when you consider it’s right on the heels of the acid trips of the 60s.
That’s how I explain bell bottoms too

How about the ruffled shirts down the front like Tom Jones wore…lol
The 70’s were strange because you had a lot of crazy shit happening. The war protests of the late 60’s and early 70’s. President caught doing wrong. Racial issues.

That was the 70’s lots of flash in the pan artist. Lots of variety shows with which artist or group that was popular right then.

when I was a kid I heard adults saying that Tom Jones “painted his pants on” and being a kid, and taking everything literally, I thought that his pants were actual paint for many years lol

The 1970s were good times for me.
Bra burning, which began in 1968, carried on into the early ’70s…what a remarkable gift to young Bucks on the prowl.
There were no cell phones in the ‘70s, only walkie-talkies which had limited range, CBs were sorta like precursors to cell phones. I never had one, but several good friends did, lots of fun to toke up and jibber jabber with the truckers.
The 70’s also introduced me to Colombian Gold, Thai Sticks, Hawaiian and sinsemilla.
Vans were better for cruising and smoking joints. Couldn’t hang posters in a car and lounge on bean bag chairs passing a bong.
And I certainly loved my dirt bikes…they helped me search for prospective guerrilla grow plots, providing fun along the way.
And keep in mind that fashion always ebbs and flows. To me now looking back, the 80’s were even more cringe worthy.
I graduated from college in 1971, and the world was my big, slimy oyster. Halcyon days, my friends.

What gets me is he actually picked that name!
after being advised not to by his psychiatrist Dr. Liddledick

His manager recommended that he change his name from George Dorsey to the name of a 19th century German composer.
This manager also worked with Tom Jones.
Somehow, this apparently helped his career.
