I’ve been reading Dangerously Funny a book about the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and its censorship battles. Most of the things they did on that show seem pretty dated though, but this video American Time Capsule which aims to tell American History in five minutes is still pretty intense. You get a real subliminal message of the dangerous violent years that had made up our country’s time on the world stage. This was right after the assassinations of MLK and RLK so there was a good reason to feel somewhat paranoid about the times.

It’s very trippy but a little depressive.
