Young Hearts Run Free: The Real Story of the 1970s'Young Hearts Run Free' is an antidote to 'I Love the 1970s'; it is the real story of the 1970s from the critically acclaimed author of 'Manchester, England'. The 1970s is a decade frequently miscast; a parade of fashion disasters backed by a soundtrack of glam rock or frothy, mainstream disco. The generation who grew up in the 1970s remember the decade differently: inflation, strikes, and power cuts; the rise of the National Front; IRA terror

'Young Hearts Run Free' is an antidote to 'I Love the 1970s'; it is the real story of the 1970s from the critically acclaimed author of 'Manchester, England'.

The 1970s is a decade frequently miscast; a parade of fashion disasters backed by a soundtrack of glam rock or frothy, mainstream disco. The generation who grew up in the 1970s remember the decade differently: inflation, strikes, and power cuts; the rise of the National Front; IRA terror campaigns on the British mainland; women's liberation; 'Mean Streets'; 'Taxi Driver' and 'Apocalypse Now'.

'Young Hearts Run Free' tells the story of the 1970s, celebrating the musicians and songs that illuminated the ideas, fashions and sexual revolutions of the decade including: the politicised soul and funk of Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, the Punk explosion, New Wave, David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, gay disco, the Stooges, Patti Smith, the Raincoats, Cabaret Voltaire, the Specials, and black British reggae.

'Young Hearts Run Free' uses in-depth research, drawing not only on interviews with musicians, writers, and artists but also a wide range of representatives of the 70s generation. They introduce us to life and music away from the mainstream: nothing bland, nothing obvious, definitely not Abba.

Holds up to chewing, but squeaker didn't last.
Pattern Name: Pumpkin, Size: Large
This pumpkin dog toy for aggressive chewers has held up to the chewing, but the squeaker, which they boasted as indestructible didn't hold up. It lasted maybe 12 hours and now it no longer squeaks which takes away a lot of the fun for my dog.

Bully breed has not destroyed the toy yet
Pattern Name: Apple, Size: Large
Ordered this toy for my Doberman and beagle who destroy every toy they are ever given. The green rope on top of the apple toy lasted for about 24 hours, and the squeaker inside the toy lasted for about 3 days. But the overall body of the toy is still in tact and it has been over a month now. The dogs still play with it despite the squeaker not working. The body of the toy is definitely durable if you have a bully breed. Both my dogs really enjoy it. Edit: 7 months later and this thing is still going strong. My doby loves it. It is tough as nails. Changed review to 5 stars.
