1. That looks like a typo.
I'd put the number closer to 1 in 2. But I grew up in the 70's.

7. Hey! I grew up in the seventies!
It's all a great big blur with Zeppelin playing in the background and a very stoned Clapton standing up to the Mic in Cleveland, singing 'Layla' .... 'Layla'.....

those were some really good drugs in those days!

9. The music I remember most
The Allman Brothers Band was a constant on the radio. I think I even heard muzak versions in elevators.

Everyone thought Pink Floyd was really creepy, especially if listened to in the daylight. At night it was okay.

My aunts had every Stones, Bowie and Carly Simon album ever made. And the turntable never stopped, ever.

Zeppelin was good music to get high to.

Genesis was considered pretty good music, at least by the 70's yuppies.

No one was ashamed to say they listened to Simon & Garfunkel, or even John Sebastian.

My dad was a real Hendrix fan, but he was one of the only white people in town who dug his music.

All the kids were listening to REO Speedwagon and Peter Frampton. The bad kids listened to KISS.

What an age to grow up in, eh?

17. I think that it is low too
I think that about 1 in 20 would be the number smoking on any given day. I think those that use pot at least once a month is more like 20%. I suppose that some people would be hesitant to admit that to a poll taker. I suppose that some areas have more pot smokers than others but here in rural Wisconsin I am sure the numbers are much higher.
