If the year was 1966, then you can be sure that the pop music emanating from transistor radios that Summer was absolutely incredible.

I’m still blown away when I look back, trying to remember a time when nearly every day presented an opportunity to hear something that blew your mind (except Napoleon XIV, which blew my stomach…).
