Tornado Alley (PROG)

[blackhawks]

Preceded by the Tet Offensive and followed by both the RFK assassination and the Chg. Dem convention 'police riot'.

(But the astronauts flew around the moon in Dec., so a hopeful ending.)

Always my reference point year for what a national nervous breakdown looks like.

Whenever a younger friend, almost all of them are younger than me now, asks me 'have you ever seen shit this bad before?', I answer yep, sure have.

Then I'm careful to avoid doing a Dana Carvey old man 'and we LIKED it!' rant.
