Quentin Tarantino
“Many people back then watched the news in
abject horror. Hippies, militant black power groups, killer cults that brainwashed suburban kids to drop acid and rise up and kill their parents, young men (the sons of veterans) burning their draft cards or fleeing to Canada, your children calling your policemen pigs, violent street crime, the emergence of the serial killer phenomenon, drug culture, free love, the nudity, violence, and the profanity of the films of New Hollywood, Woodstock, Altamont, Stonewall, Cielo Drive.
To many Americans it was a mosaic that scared the shit out of them”
Quentin Tarantino, Cinema Speculation

“If you think the ’80s were dumber than the ’70s, either you weren’t there or you weren’t paying attention.”
James Lileks, Interior Desecrations: Hideous Homes from the Horrible '70s
