I didn’t see this when it aired because I was in Darmstadt, Germany. But I did do something that day that was appropriate for Halloween.

A few miles south of Darmstadt is Burg Frankenstein, a long-abandoned medieval castle. Halloween fell on a Sunday in 1965, so we figured it was a good time to visit the castle. We were the only ones there, but in subsequent years, American service personnel discovered Frankenstein Castle and began holding Halloween parties at the site.

I was surprised to hear an Oldie toward the beginning of the show:

Stay on the Right Side of the Road--Jack Hylton & His Orchestra (1933)

The show also featured the Spokesmen performing their 1965 release There But for Fortune. It was written by Comrade Phil Ochs and produced by Johnny Madara and Dave White, who co-wrote At the Hop, a hit for Danny & the Juniors, of which they were members. White also wrote their follow-up hit Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay. They later teamed up to write Lesley Gore's hit You Don't Own Me, which Rush Limbaugh fans are familiar with.
