You're blaming Hayes for the Dawes Act of 1887?

This article does a great disservice to Rutherford B. Hayes, who was actually a good statesman working in an impossible political atmosphere. You say that he ended Reconstruction, but actually the end of Reconstruction was a condition of the political deal between the two parties that allowed him to take office. We…

It is derivative but it is derivative of an era and a sound more than any single artist.  I hear some Stylistics in it, some Dells, some Chi-Lites, some Al Green.  I think it's a brilliant pastiche.

No plot hole.  Jesse handed the boy over to Mike and Fi that same day.  They would have had a prearranged meeting place.  The CIA then assume that the boy died in Maddie's explosion.

No, Agent Pearce is selling Toyotas.

Fi got to say "Shall we shoot them?"  Jesse got to say "That's how we do it."  Sam got to say "You know spies — a bunch of bitchy little girls."

While I like the idea of Michael Weston as "a surprisingly proficient kidnapper" I think the episode itself makes it pretty clear that Jesse and Sam handed Charlie off to Mike and Fi.  After the funeral Sam was not talking like he had faith that his friends survived.  He was talking like he was keeping his friends'…

When Santana was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Carlos Santana thanked two influences in his speech — Ritchie Valens and Perez Prado.  Not remembering Kyle Rote is one thing, but any student of 20th century culture should know who Perez Prado is.

Antho42, I think that you are missing the point.  The issue is not whether there was any fragmentation in 1964.  The issue is whether the fragmentation of the time was greater than that of other times.  Fragmentation was likely greatest in the 1970s, when media corporations learned the
value of target marketing…

You are wrong.  The audience in 1964 was much more unified than it would be in the years to come.  Watch the TAMI Show documentary and you will understand.

1961.  And the chord progressions of the song sound more like the beat groups of the sixties than the rockabilly of the fifties.

I don't know whether it's in the book, but there's a reason not mentioned in this article in favor of considering "Dancing in the Street" the definitive anthem of the era.  The song has the line, "Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the street."
