I was wondering why 1969 suddenly shot up on Amazon’s sales rankings today–I didn’t think my nephew’s YouTube channel had that much pull–but then I saw the great article that ran in USA Today (a day earlier than expected)!  It’s on the front page of the “Life” section and runs over onto page 2 with a picture of yours truly. (Todd Gitlin even took a bit of a shot at me, which I thought was way cool.)  Many thanks to Craig Wilson for his great piece.  You can read the article online at:

I even got a kick out of the teaser’s placement on the main “Life” page–just beneath Oprah, above the Coachella festival, and to the right of Kate Winslet…
