Bicentennial Bonanza: Party Like It's 1976!

For us GenXers born before about 1972, the build-up to our nation’s Bicentennial was truly one of the most anticipated events of our young lives. Join us as we celebrate the Spirit of '76 through your eyes, with a collection of special, star-spangled Bicentennial memories straight from our listeners — from getting pennies smashed by the passing Freedom Train to collecting those treasured Bicentennial quarters to costumes — SO. MANY. COSTUMES. (Special shoutout to the Tricorn hat.) Let’s celebrate our collective patriotic memories together as we get ready for the 50th anniversary of the unforgettable Bicentennial and that undeniable SPIRIT of '76!Get Mike Derrico's book "Bicentennial Chic: Bronx Bombers, KISSteria & the Birth of Saturday Night Fever" hereClick here for a year of Remind Magazine for only $12.Shop our link at bookshop.org to support independent bookstores and the PCPS.Subscribe to our YouTube channel hereFollow the Pop Culture Preservation Society on Instagram, Facebook an TikTokSupport the PCPS by becoming a patron on Patreon.
