Welcome to "Dateline: 1971," a new blog that will document all things related to the year 1971. It was the year I was born; that's why I'm interested in blogging on it. That, and the passionate curiousity that I have about history in general; American 20th century history; American popular cultural history; and learning as much as I can about the world that I was born into in all its respects.
So, while my educational and professional background is in media history and popular culture, and the posts on "Dateline: 1971" will certainly reflect that background strongly, I also plan to include material regarding American and international historical events of the year, general cultural and social trends and practices of the early-1970s, and the minutest little details of what life in 1971 was like.
Some posts will be media-related in terms of featuring images and video clips from 1971 and others will be musings on my part about things 1971. Many posts will be summaries of 1971 information or resources that I have found on the web, with links (naturally) to those pages.
I hope to post about three times a week to "Dateline: 1971." I welcome comments on my posts and have adjusted the settings for this to be possible. Whether you are also a child of 1971, nearby years in the late-1960s or early-1970s, or an aficionado of 1970s culture, enjoy "Dateline: 1971."
