Wow what a year 1965 was in the history of rock
* Bob Dylan goes electric at the Newport Folk Festival
* Uk blues-rock peaks with the Who, Yardbirds, Paul Butterfield,etc
* Elvis meets the Beatles
* Southern soul comes into it's own
* the Byrds invent folk-rock
* James Brown invents funk
* the art of protest escalates on the "Eve of Destruction".
