A Look Back REMEMBER ‘73?
With Robert celebrating his birthday this month, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the year when it all began.
In the world of music, 1973 saw the rise of genre-defining albums and performing artists whose influences are still felt today. On Jan. 5, for example, a band of “bad boys” from Boston released their first studio record “Aerosmith.” Not to be overshadowed, Pink Floyd introduced the world to the “Dark Side of the Moon” that spring. Meanwhile, right here in New York, artists like DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and DJ Disco Wiz were laying the foundations of hip-hop. While we can see the impact of these musical movements in hindsight, they were very much cutting edge for the time. What was the average person up to in ‘73? Sadly, many young Americans had been overseas fighting in Vietnam, but 1973 finally brought them home. The cease-fire came into effect in January, and a generation was finally able to reenter civilian life. On the homefront, gas was just 40 cents a gallon, a full 5 cents less than a carton of eggs at the time. Some of the most popular toys included roller skates and transistor radios, while shows like “M*A*S*H” and “The Odd Couple” dominated the airwaves. Gangster movies were in their heyday at this point, with “The Godfather” winning best picture at the 45th annual Academy Awards — beating out “American Graffiti,” a coming-of-age movie that put a young filmmaker named George Lucas on the map. 1973 was also a banner year for sports. The Mets won the National League championship, though they would lose out to Oakland in Game 7 of the World Series. The Knicks took home the NBA Championship title, while the Dolphins won Super Bowl VII. But by far, the biggest event was the Sep. 20 “Battle of the Sexes” between tennis stars Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, which is still the most- watched match in the sport’s history. Billie Jean clenched a 6–4, 6–4, 6–3 victory, inspiring the next generation of women athletes.
