Something for you to think about, Especially if you were feeling all young and spry today.

 

Consider these facts:
 
1946, considered the year of the first Baby Boomers, is closer in time to the Gunfight at the OK Corral than to today.
 
1963 (“I Want to Hold Your Hand” released) is closer in time to the sinking of the Lusitania than to today.
 
1969 (the year of Woodstock) is closer in time to the first “talkie” movie, “The Jazz Singer”, than to today.
 
1955, (midpoint year of the Baby Boomers) is closer in time to the Spanish American War than to today.
 
1974 (Nixon resigns in the wake of the Watergate scandal) is closer in time to the Hindenburg Disaster than to today.

In 1963 alone, he appeared on 586 cuts and countless more throughout the decade, including the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man," Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas,” Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
