The Time Machine visits 1968 this time. It was a banner year for both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Jimi Hendrix was still with us and released a masterpiece. Simon and Garfunkel's music was everywhere. Archie Bell and the Drells taught us a dance called the Tighten Up. It was a year full of tragedy. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were both assassinated. In lighter news, Rowan and Martin's Laugh In was a popular diversion. It's all 1968, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
