This summer I've noticed an awful lot of media nostalgia for pop culture events that happened 40 years ago in 1969...here is a list of some events I've heard in the news lately and others that are stuck in my memory drawer somwhere:
The Miracle Mets win the World Series
Drugs and Mud invade Woodstock, NY
Broadway Joe Namath guarantees victory in Super Bowl III and delivers
Sesame Street and The Brady Bunch debut
Hurricane Camille devastates the Gulf Coast
Neil Armstrong is the first Man on the Moon
The Beatles recording career ends with Abbey Road
Charles Manson and his cult of followers murder five in LA
Tricky Dick Nixon takes office
Ted Kennedy drives off a bridge in Chappaquidick, killing a female passenger
250,000 anti-war protesters march on Washington
The Gap opens in San Francisco
The Who release Tommy
The Rolling Stones retrun to America...ending at Altamont
Midnight Cowboy is released with an X rating
Pele nets his 1,000th career goal
That's quite a year!
