Non-musical history for today: 1965 – Frank Herbert’s novel, Dune, was published for the first time. It was named the world’s best-selling science fiction novel in 2003. I never read it (because I really hate reading), but have seen both big-screen versions and enjoyed them both very much. The 1984 version for the schlock value and the 2021/2024 versions for the stunning visuals.
