The summer of 1967 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Windy" by The Association is at the top of the singles charts, while "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procol Harum is the number-one song in the UK. Lyndon Baines Johnson is the President of the United States, and the movie You Only Live Twice is at the top of the box office.

Harold Wilson is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In fashion, a new "hippie subculture" has emerged, bringing with it laid-back Bohemian styles. Frayed bell-bottom jeans, Jesus sandals, crushed velvet suits, and bright tie-dye t-shirts are all popular items of clothing at the moment. It's 1967, so radio stations are playing hit songs from artists such as Procol Harum, The Monkees, The Beatles, The Doors, Lulu and The Association.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Che Guevara, Otis Redding, Martin Luther King, and Helen Keller would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Ed Sullivan Show", "Danger Man", "I Dream of Jeannie", and "Dark Shadows".
