Popular Culture
The Doors, Janis Joplin, the Beatles -- we’re still listening 40 years later. Funny Girl, Barbarella, Planet of the Apes, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly -- still cultural references. Not to mention that we’re still scratching our heads over 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hawai’i Five-O was in its third season. The Monkees and Bonanza were in their last. We laughed at the news of the day with The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and tuned in for sketch comedy on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In. Outside of popular media, the computer mouse made its public debut, the Boeing 747 flew its first flight, and Mattel introduced Hot Wheels toy cars. Forty years later? You get the picture.
