About Books, May 9, 2009

Rob Kirkpatrick tells the story of an influential year in "1969: the Year Everything Changed." I had the best time talking with Rob and reminiscing about the things the happened forty years ago. Rob arranges the book in seasons so, for example, in summer 1969 the Eagle landed, Woodstock occurred as did Hurricane Camilla. In the following sections, you'll remember the first ATM, the Viet Nam protest movement, Joe Namath and Super Bowl III, and the beginning of the interest in ecology and gay rights.
