Take me back to September 23, 1965

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is September 23, 1965, and it's a Thursday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Libra. Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves.

The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "Help" by The Beatles is at the top of the singles charts, while "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones is the number-one song in the UK. Lyndon Baines Johnson is the President of the United States, and the movie The Sound of Music is at the top of the box office.

Harold Wilson is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Gunsmoke", "Rawhide", "My Favorite Martian", and "I Dream of Jeannie". In fashion, women are wearing miniskirts and "space age" attire with synthetic materials. The "Dolly Girl" look has also become popular. Meanwhile, men are beginning to transition into "surf rock" fashion, which has been made popular by bands such as The Beach Boys. "Greasers", who are influenced by rock 'n' roll fashion, have also become a popular subculture.

Because it's 1965, radio stations are playing hit songs from music artists such as The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, The Beatles, Sonny & Cher and The Supremes. A new sitcom called "Hogan's Heroes" has recently made its television debut. The sitcom, which aired on CBS this month, is set in a German prisoner of war camp during WW2.
