From the News Edge: Transportation officials are reporting a traffic backup along the westbound lanes of I-24 in the work zone from near the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line to the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit. The contractor is pouring concrete as part of ongoing pavement rehabilitation work around the 89-mile marker, near the Pembroke-Oak Grove exit. While concrete trucks are moving in and out of this work area delivering material, the traffic backup appears to be more related to heavy traffic along the westbound lanes today. Westbound I-24 traffic in this work zone is backed up about 3 to 4 miles at this time with traffic slowed to about 35 mph in the area. To help reduce traffic congestion in this area, regular commuters who normally travel this section of I-24 westbound are being asked to seek an alternate route, if possible...............................................................................................................................A Night With The Blues is Saturday night at the Alhambra Theatre.

1965 - The Most Hits Ever



Rock and Roll was now a decade old!  In 1965, The Beatles continued to be incredibly popular, but other musical genres were too!  Motown (The Supremes) and Surf Music (Beach Boys) competed for top spots on the charts.  Folk Rock (The Byrds and Bob Dylan) was becoming more popular, and many of the songs were sung about anti-war sentiments.  In Fact, Bob Dylan had 6 songs from 1965 that made the top 500 list.  The #1 song of all-time, according to Rolling Stone, was "Like a Rolling Stone" that was topped the charts in 1965!  Country, pop, and instrumental even made its way to the top of the charts in 1965.  In fact, 35 songs made the 500 Biggest Songs of All Time from 1965.  This was the most ever to make the coveted Rolling Stones list in a single year. The Beatles released their "Rubber Soul" album  at the end of 1965, and rock and roll would never be the same again. 

 

Important Fact:  Appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show
became critical for musicians as the American public was mesmorized by it.


The Rolling Stone named 500 of the greatest songs of all time.  35 songs made the cut in 1965 (the most ever in a single year!)
