A 50-Year Memory: Video for May

My last month of high school. May 1966.

From the truly ridiculous:

• It's a Small World opens at Disneyland.

To the wonderfully sublime:

• The legendary album Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys is released.
• Bob Dylan's seminal album, Blonde on Blonde is released in the U.S.

And omens of things to come:

• Tens of thousands of anti-war demonstrators again picket the White House, then rally at the Washington Monument.

The Mamas and Papas spent three weeks of May at the top of the Billboard Top 100. A wonderful song by a group  of talented individuals.
