RETRO LIGHTNING -1967

(Show #957; aired on 03-03-2012)

1967…I was only ten years old, but there was plenty of weird stuff going on in the world at the time.  It was the year of “draft dodging”, war protests, the British Invasion, psychedelic black light posters, “The Summer of Love”, bell-bottom polyesters, high-powered Top 40 Radio, and much more!  Today, we have a great mix of music and memories from 1967.  Plus, a tribute to Davy Jones of The Monkees, who passed away earlier this week.  — Fred
