Non-musical history for today: 1965 – The 1964–65 New York World’s Fair closed after two years. The expo attracted more than 51 million attendees. It included exhibitions, activities, performances, films, art, and food presented by 80 nations, 24 U.S. states, and nearly 350 American companies. There are still World’s Fairs, but the internet (and global politics) has rendered them pretty much afterthoughts.

Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for October 17.

Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios at Liberty Plaza.
