North Dakota Remembers Kris Kristofferson
This past Saturday you may have felt a sudden sadness of brushing past you - no matter where you were at.

Reports of those who had run across him out and about as "just a normal guy" all said the same thing, Kris Kristofferson - he was about as reachable as a "Famous person" could be - and a band about 4 years ago in Fargo will agree with that 100%.

TIME WARP: 79 Photos That Scream Life in the ’70s
The 1970s was all about extremes. Fashion was both shockingly tight and incredibly loose, often within the same outfit. It was more than a trend—it was a vibe. Just like fashion, popular culture had its own rebellious streak. Films were grittier than ever with scenes that would cause a riot in theaters today (if people actually went to theaters). At the same time, disco might have "sucked" but it ruled the music scene and became the soundtrack to iconic "only in the '70s" movies like Saturday Night Fever.
