First things first, how could we forget LBJ’s announcement of his Great Society plan, intending to expand the American welfare state? And, of course, the first round of combat personnel was being deployed to Vietnam. Life was certainly changing rapidly.

Do you recall when Joe Namath signed that rookie record $427,000 contract to play for the New York Jets? He would go on to become a Hall of Fame quarterback and even win the Super Bowl with the Jets. Talk about an unforgettable moment in sports history!

And who could forget young Peter Jennings being hired by ABC as a lead news anchor? At the time, he was the youngest U.S. network anchor in history, and it was quite the buzz around town.

1965 was a year full of iconic moments. Remember when TGI Friday’s first opened as one of the earliest singles bars? It eventually evolved into a family-friendly chain of restaurants, but those early days will always have a special place in our hearts.

Spaghettios! They first hit the shelves in May of that year, becoming a pantry staple and making spaghetti-eating easier with a spoon. We’ll always remember the first time we cracked open a can and dug in.

Bob Dylan’s electric performance at the Newport Folk Festival left everyone in shock and awe as he strayed from the expected acoustic set. That night marked a pivotal moment in his career and the music world.

Oh, and how about the birth of the Pillsbury Doughboy, when he popped out of that can of dough and said, “I’m Poppin’ Fresh, the Pillsbury Doughboy!” Iconic, to say the least.

Lastly, who could forget the completion of the 630-foot tall Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri? A symbol of westward expansion and the Louisiana Purchase, it’s still a sight to behold today.

Now, I know you’re itching to watch this fantastic ‘MadlyOdd’ video that takes us through all of these events and more, so why not head over to YouTube and relive 1965 once again? And remember to like and share it with your friends because these moments are worth reminiscing together.
