I wish... back in 1977

There were a few things that happened (other than my birth) in 1977 which are important to this world. Apple II was introduced, started the downfall of Apple, which has not recovered after they took back Steve Jobs (after firing him). Our head of state, QE 2 was on her first Jubilee (25 years as queen). British Airway started the concorde service between London and New York. NASA has sent 2 Voyager spacecrafts to space, both of them contained golden discs that contain a lot of information about earth, which probably won't be seen by other life forms in another 40k years. (closest planet) Also, star wars were on for the first time, which has introduced a franchise empire.

What is also important? It was the last time Canadian dollars hit 95 cent range of US dollars. For regular people like you and me, it is time to shop in US!

btw, back in 1977, Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" won the Grammy,

Looking back on when i
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside,
Tryin your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin it might stop her
From woopin your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says hes tellin
bout you playin doctor with that girl
Just dont tell Ill give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principals office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing aint right
But while you were doinit-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
