  5. I was talking to a bloke at one of the gigs I went to last week. We chatted mostly about jazz, but got into gigs generally.

    He said that the first gig he went to was the Beatles, with the Yardbirds as support (and Hughie Green as the MC) at the Hammersmith Odeon.

    His father took him; he was nine.

    A quick search pulls up a Christmas show in 1964.

    What a start to a gig-going career! Sixty one years of music.

  6. Howdy,

    For me, reliving what our country went through in the 60's gives me hope. I’m less concerned about Trump. Because we made it through segregation, civil rights, voting rights, deep divisions in our country and Vietnam. We put a man on the moon. If Trump does win maybe things have to get worse before they get better?

  7. Owning a fallout shelter was the ultimate status symbol in the ’60s—if you could afford it. Explore the class divides and absurdity of the fallout shelter craze. Spoiler: It wasn’t the cozy hideaway you might think. forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/ #history #coldwar #propaganda #midcentury #thesixties #war

  8. The Gaslight Cafe

    The Greenwich Village coffeehouse opened in 1958. Originally it was a "basket house" where unpaid performers would pass around a basket at the end of each set in order to be paid. The cafe became a gathering place for beatniks, artists, poets, and folk singers with a large variety of performances.

  13. Am interested in comparing historiographical arguments that effectively broaden a concept in order to include precedents, adjacencies, or later events that previously were treated separately.

    Example #1: the long #CivilRightsMovement

    Example #2: The Movement / #TheSixties (a la Terry Anderson)

    Other examples, #Histodons? Does this "move" have a name?

    (If not, could we call it umbrella-ing?)
