One more from 1968...  I was too young to remember it but 1968 was just an bitch of a year. Literally you never knew what was going happen from month to month.

January - LBJ decides not to run

March - McCarthy picks up momentum in primaries

April - Assassination of King

May- RFK wins primaries and gain momentum

June - RFK - assasinated

August - Democratic convention riots

November - Nixon elected

December - Apollo circles moon

I spent the last thirty minutes rambling about Joe Hill, Otis Gibbs, Hayes Carll and some other shit I should probably forget. 

Otis Gibbs got Michelle Shocked's portion of Joe Hill's ashes in a pint of beer because Billy Bragg deemed him worthy of the honor. 

Yeah that will do.

And Gary Clark, Jr,

I was only half paying attention.  It wasn't until the next morning that it even occurred to me to be surprised that they let us hear that many n bombs.
