I was born in 1966, 3 years before man first walked on the moon. I have a vague recollection of my dad getting me out of bed to watch some of those Apollo missions. So it's interesting to hear the prelude to those memories, forged 11 years earlier from America's fear of the Soviet Union.

Also aligned to the fear of communism is the west's fear of Arab nationalism. This creates new tensions in the middle-east and elsewhere.

Sit back and enjoy these and other historically significant moments while global and musical revolutions continue apace. Welcome to 1958.
