Some Very Important Things Happened in 1964.
Well- for one- that’s the year I was born
( hurray)
In addition to that- two months later this hit the airwaves-
( trust me, it DOES figure )
Nobody was doing much with archeology in 1964 but who would have guessed that the Beatles – yes those loveable ( geeze, I can’t believe I said that) little mop tops- would one day be the poster Grand Dads of Rock and Roll?
Okay, this picture was a big deal in 1964
It’s called The Son of Man.
I think it’s dumb.
But on the other hand this is my idea of art so…
as an FYI this is what a commercial for Aspirin looked like in 1964-
it’s a tad bit dramatic.
Here’s a movie that came out in 1964 proved that not only is war a really bad idea but working under the influence of controlled substances isn’t a very good one either
To me the highlight of 1964 was when the Russians sent their astronauts into Space without a Space Suits- oh and the spacecraft didn’t have an escape hatch either.
I don’t know who was drinking what when they dreamed up that idea, but there are writers out there that would pay good money for a swig.
It gets better, though- the Voskhod crashed in the Ural Mountains instead of landing in water and the crew spent the night in the surrounded by Wolves.
Plus the rescue crew had to cut down trees to get to them.
I mean…WOW.
So let’s hear it for 1964
You know, after you all quit laughing.

Irregular Bones 
Those poor astronauts.
Hi Max,
Any Astronaut can say they went into space…but only a special few can say they fought back Wolves.
You know wolves do not really attack people right?
Does that include Spacemen?
I wonder.
Hmmmmmm
Well I do not know the actual statistics on spacemen.
But can you imagine if you were hungry and all of the sudden from out of the sky someone drops you dinner all warm and wrapped in foil?
Just sayin.
I stare real hard at the stove every night around dinner time praying but so far no luck.
That sounds like cult waiting to happen you know.
Sure. We will call the The Church of Max’s Tragically Bereft Stove. Penitents can sit before the stove and offer up prayers for sustenance. That has got to be more fun than burlap we will get converts all over I bet.
I can feel it now…a movement is headed your way.
And if the praying thing doesn’t work you can all chip in an order Pizza- then the Pizza Guy ( who I hope has those ripley muscles that you like ) can be a God or something.
Wow, creating a religion is SO cool.
