New Yorker Series: The Decades

I don't recall how I stumbled on the first in the series, The 40s: Story of a Decade, The New Yorker. But I'm glad I did; an incredible anthology. Then, I got the second in the series, The 50s and then kind of forgot all about  it. Now I see that the third installment will be released in October (2016). Wow. And on top of that, I will be getting an advanced copy to review in the next week or so. I can hardly wait.

Imagine. The 60s. I can't imagine a more eventful decade in my lifetime.

The #1 song of the 60s:

A Day in the Life, The Beatles
But among the top 100, among my favorites:

• To Love Someone, The Bee Gees
• Runway, Del Shannon
• Crazy, Patsy Cline
• House of the Rising Sun, The Animals
• Bad Moon Rising, CCR
• White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane
• Stand By Me, Ben E. King
• Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Otis Redding
• California Dreamin', The Mamas and the Papas
• several songs by Velvet Underground
• several songs by Leonard Cohen
• and, interestingly, for the most part, neither the Beatles nor the Rolling Stones interest me much.
