In 1966... The first Acid Test is conducted at the Fillmore, San Francisco. About 8,000 U.S. soldiers land in South Vietnam; U.S. troops now total 190,000. Harold Holt becomes Prime Minister of Australia when Robert Menzies retires. The United Kingdom ceases all trade with Rhodesia. The Belgian government resigns. Soviet space probe Venera 3 crashes on Venus, becoming the first spacecraft to land on another planet's surface. Pope Paul VI and Arthur Michael Ramsey, the Archbishop of Canterbury, meet in Rome. Bobbi Gibb becomes the first woman to run the Boston Marathon. Uniform daylight saving time is first observed in most parts of North America. The legendary album Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys is released. The final new episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show airs. Bob Dylan is injured in a motorcycle accident near his home in Woodstock, New York. He is not seen in public for over a year.

The 1960s were indeed a special decade. The Swinging Sixties saw the rise of counterculture. There was recreational drug use and casual sex. Many countries gained independence from their colonial rulers. Several governments turned to the left. In Britain, the Labour Party gains power. The Vietnam War continues. The Algerian War comes to a close. In the US, Hispanics fight to end racial discrimination and socioeconomic disparity. Feminism keeps rising. Art House films make it to theaters. The Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones play their music. The US and Soviet Union come close to a military confrontation during the Cuba missile crisis. Nixon becomes US president. Man lands on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission of the United States. The first heart transplantation occurs. The first computer game, Spacewar, is created.


In 1966, a long time ago, the year when you were born, the song Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones topped the US charts. Do you know the lyrics? Do you know the tune? Sing along.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes


In the real world, in 1966, Chris Rock was born. And Cindy Crawford. Scott Adams, too.
