    The most noteworthy craze to hit Pop Culture in 1966 was Batmania. “Star Trek” also began airing in 1966.
    1966 was the year Frank Sinata sold millions of copies of Strangers In The Night.

    So 40 years pass and we are expected to provide our own entertainment. Start your own Batmania craze blog. Buy a costume, build a Batmobile and make a videoblog that people can watch on their cellphone.
    Don’t end up like the Green Hornet.

    Marketing
    music to movies to bubble-gum cards to fashion to dances to coloring books to anything that could be merchandised as Bat-related.

    Maybe somebody can make blogger trading cards. Check with Topps.

    Anybody have a video of this?
    July 1966
    Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, narrowly escape injury when part of a heavy cement block crashed into their car as they drive through the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The block was thrown from a fourth floor of a building under reconstruction. It hit the radiator of the royal
    Rolls Royce, missing the queen’s head by a few feet.

    I wonder if they had full coverage insurance on the Rolls.
