The Time Machine drops back to 1969 this time. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon in the same year a half a million gathered at Woodstock. Led Zeppelin came out of the gate with a vengeance. The Beatles performed that unannounced concert on the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters and also issued their Abbey Road album. Sly and the Family Stone brought some unity to a troubled world. It's all 1969, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
