The Eve of Destruction, 7/26/20 Update



We’re approaching the 75th anniversary of a world-changing event. Haven’t seen or heard anyone else talking about it, but it’s coming upon us and we will be talking about it here, perhaps in ways you don’t expect. The song above is from 1965, 20 years after a critical event that already had its three-quarter-century anniversary ten days ago.

July 16, 1945. Trinity Test.

Coincidentally or not, there’s yet another anniversary being celebrated this very day. On July 26th, which it now is, Mick Jagger turns 77, and the recording below dates from 1970, which is 50 years ago and almost exactly 25 years after Trinity and, you know. Are these meaningless markings of years? You be the judge.
