These 23 super-1970s photos will knock you right back to the 1970s

Who needs a time machine? The past is all around us. We wanted to open a portal to the 1970s on your computer screen, so we gathered the most 1970s pictures we could find. These images are so deeply entrenched in the Me Decade, you can practically smell the musk oil coming off them.
