This episode is part II of a series that started with episode 326 which covers the 1960s. We will close (soon) the 60s trilogy with a part III covering primarily, the Moon, Manson and Woodstock. The so-called British Invasion leads us into the mid-sixties and it is accurately named as it was, in fact, the (more…)
