1979 Socks
Description: One such example is 'The Beast,' built in 1979 in Mason, Ohio. This was the tallest, fastest, and longest wooden roller coaster in the world at the time of it's opening. Decades later, it is still the longest, spanning 7,361 feet, racing across 35 acres of hilly, wooded terrain.
Description: The “death of disco” is often traced to the late 1970s, when the genre’s massive popularity began to spark backlash from rock fans and industry insiders alike. Disco had dominated radio, clubs, and pop charts, but by 1979 it was seen by critics as over-commercialized and oversaturated. The tipping point came with the infamous Disco Demolition Night at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, where thousands gathered to destroy disco records in a promotion that quickly spiraled into chaos. While the event symbolized a cultural shift, it also exposed deeper tensions around race, sexuality, and changing musical tastes, as disco was closely tied to Black, Latino, and LGBTQ+ communities. Despite the backlash, disco never truly disappeared—instead, it evolved...

Description: Bustin' Out of L Seven is the second album by the American musician Rick James, released in 1979 through Gordy Records. Included on the album is the top ten R&B hit, "Bustin' Out (On Funk)". L7 is slang for "square", as in the opening lyrics of "Bustin' Out (On Funk)", "Well, alright, you squares, it's time you smoked, Fire up this funk and let's have a toke". The letter L and the number 7 form a square.
Description: Cup 'o Pizza was a St. Louis icon, or it least it was in 1979's 'The Jerk.' The fictional restaurant with the "the best pizza in a cup ever" has long been a thing of mystery – a fast food white whale to some, an object of culinary disgust to others, but one thing is for sure, it's forever burned into the annals of cinema history.
Description: Outstanding custom illustration of a classic 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief SJ wagon in clean white, featuring its iconic retro multi-colored side stripes. Engineered with an ultra-slammed lowered stance, modern multi-spoke deep-dish wheels, and a performance side exhaust, this design perfectly captures vintage Full-Size Jeep heritage mixed with modern street truck culture. Ideal for stickers, t-shirts, and prints.
Description: Wherever there is a great triumph, there is usually even greater tragedy. Such is the case with the Los Angeles hardcore-punk outfit known as the Germs, who, in four short years, lived dangerously, playing fast, brash rock 'n' roll with a much dirtier and nastier edge than their contemporaries; an edge that would prove to be sharp and deadly for the bands' confused and drug addicted lead singer. They only released a single studio album in 1979, but it was a banger stuffed with 17 songs dripping with aggression, despair, and pure rage. Titled (GI), the all-black cover with an enigmatic blue circle design echoed the Germs' stripped-down aesthetic perfectly and would be synonymous with the band until their untimely undoing in 1980.
Description: Former featherweight champion Bobby Chacon hammered out a unanimous 10 round decision over Jose Torres Monday night in an action-packed junior lightweight bout. Chacon used a heavy body barrage early in the bout that appeared to slow down the Mexico City fighter. Chacon picked up the pace in the final two rounds and scored at will with combinations and counter-punches in the final round to earn the decision. Chacon was cut over the right eye in the 6th round, but the wound didn't appear to effect him. There were no knockdowns in the fight
