Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It's April 22, 1970, and I'm listening to "American Woman". Today is a very special day for us tree-huggers. Today is the first celebration of what?

Answer: Earth Day

Initiated by Senator Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day led to a huge increase in recycling, environmental consciousness and ecological conservation. On the first Earth Day, dozens of gas-guzzling cars were burned ceremoniously.
Released by the Guess Who on the same-titled album in January of 1970, "American Woman" was released as a single in March, and eventually rose to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 List.
2. I've got my hot pants and tube top on, and I'm watching "All in the Family". A celebrity just kissed Archie Bunker! Who was that?

Answer: Sammy Davis, Jr.

Based on a British sitcom titled "Till Death Do Us Part", "All in the Family" broke numerous barriers in American television and broached such previously taboo subjects as racism, abortion, and homosexuality among others. The year after Sammy Davis, Jr., playing himself, kissed Archie, the Jeffersons were introduced on the show.
In 1972, Edith's cousin Maude (played by Bea Arthur) starred in a spin off titled "Maude".
3. "School's Out", and I'm looking through a catalog, wishing for a pair of groovy shoes. Which should I buy?

Answer: platform shoes

With soles measuring up to seven inches high, and extreme models holding water and goldfish, 'Consumer Reports' rated platform shoes as health hazards.
And, "School's Out" was by Alice Cooper (nee Vincent Furnier) in 1972.
4. "The Dark Side of the Moon" is playing on my Dodge Charger's radio as I'm peeling out to see "White Lightning" at the drive-in theater. But, who's the star of this new movie?

Answer: Burt Reynolds

Burt Reynolds had several box-office successes in the 1970s, including "Deliverance", "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing", "The Longest Yard" and "Smokey and The Bandit".
Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" is the band's most commercially successful album, and the best selling album worldwide.
5. Trapper John and Hot Lips Houlihan just saved a soldier, but I've got the television muted so I can hear "Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe" playing on my record turntable. Who's singing this song in such a deep rich voice?

Answer: Barry White

Trapper John and Hot Lips Houlihan were on "M*A*S*H*", which ran from 1972 until 1983. Also among the main characters were Hawkeye Pierce, Frank Burns, Radar O'Reilly and Klinger, among others.
Barry White also had hits in the '70s with "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" and "Love's Theme".
6. Da-dum, da-dum, da-da-dum, the movie starts and "Jaws" is playing on the big screen, the shark is cruising and a man just ran past my car. What was he doing that made me choke on my diet pop?

Answer: streaking

"Jaws", a huge cinematic success, was followed by "Jaws 2", "Jaws 3-D" and "Jaws - The Revenge". "Jaws" was directed by Stephen Spielberg, and nominated for a best picture Academy Award.
Streaking - running naked - was a fairly short-lived fad, and quite possibly best remembered for David Niven's comment about a streaker who crossed the stage during the 1974 Academy Awards, when he remarked that the streaker would be best remembered for his 'shortcomings'.
7. "You Sexy Thing" is playing on the radio as I read the reviews for a Robert DeNiro and Jodie Foster film. I think I'd like to see it, but what is the name of this movie?

Answer: Taxi Driver

Robert DeNiro made several other great films during the 1970s, including "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight", "The Last Tycoon", "Bang the Drum Slowly" and "Addict" among others. Jodie Foster, whose first exposure was in "Coppertone" advertisements, made her acting debut in television's 1969 "Mayberry, R.F.D.", and besides the movie "Taxi Driver", had parts in "Bugsy Malone" and "The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane" in the '70s.
"You Sexy Thing" was a hit for Hot Chocolate in 1976.
8. I'm blow-drying my blond hair, the curlers hot against my scalp. Before long, I'll be as gorgeous as one of my favorite actresses. She played an incredibly beautiful and poster-worthy private-detective, but on which series?

Answer: Charlie's Angels

"Charlie's Angels" debuted in 1976, starring Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson as ex-policewomen recruited to be private detectives, hired by an unseen boss voiced by John Forsythe.
9. I'm wearing my "Afternoon Delight" sparkle shirt and my elephant bells as I lay back on my bean bag chair and create a new plant-hanger. What craft am I engaging in?

Answer: macrame

The art of knotting cords into hot-pads, plant-hangers and dream-catchers among other uses lasted into the early 1980s. Extreme macrame artists would use only hemp cord for their creations.
And, elephant bells were extreme bell-bottoms, tight through the thighs and widened to ultimate widths at the ankles.
10. I'm sitting here listening to "I Will Survive", trying to forget the movie I just watched which starred Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall. Set during the Vietnam War, it was based on Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness". What movie am I trying to forget?

Answer: Apocalypse Now

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Sheen's role was originally set to be played by Steve McQueen, then Harvey Keitel, before eventually being given to Martin Sheen. As late as the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival, Coppola was still trying to decide between two different endings.
"I Will Survive" was a disco hit for Gloria Gaynor in 1979, playing alongside The Village People's "YMCA" and "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer.
