Jerry Lewis slithered out of the womb 20 years later.
In 1968: Nearly 500 civillians killed in the village of My Lai by Lt William Calley's US Army platoon...


As Sonny & Cher put it in their ode to the Beat Generation:
"The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da"
