For the month of November, I will be spending most of my time writing about 1965 (the year I was born). For that reason, I started the 1965 Project, which will consist of daily postings about overlooked gems from that year. To read these posts, start here.

1965 Table of Contents

  1. It was a Very Good Year. (Introduction)
  2. Pawking Metaws (Bob Dylan)
  3. Kiddie Animation
  4. Unsettling Japanese Movies
  5. 1965 and American Politics
  6. Shindig! TV Show.
  7. Live Beatles’ Performances
  8. Children’s books of 1965.
  9. The Sound of Music Movie (and the 2 German movies that inspired it)

September 2026 Update. Despite the delays, I still intend to write a dozen more longish posts about the 1965 year. Stay tuned!

    Love the idea, Bobby. Of course, as a 1966 baby I can’t quite relate. But I’ll try my best.

    Do you already have this fully mapped out, or do you just have a couple of posts in mind for now and hope to draw inspiration along the way to finish it off? I’m not sure how I’d approach something similar for my year.

    My wife asked how I felt about soon turning 60, and interestingly, I had given it no thought. Things are moving rapidly now; yet, time folds in funny ways; I don’t feel the distance becoming greater. But there is a horizon. It is fun to peak just past it to a world in which I am remembered, but do not myself remember. The year was 1965, and Frank still sounded terrific.
