Sorry we didn't comment on your update; I like it, I feel we aren't giving the Republican Party enough of a voice, and it's good update. And on that note, more Tea Set:
---
August 10, 1967: British rock band the 'Tea Set' release their first album, 'Projection'. The album, a largely folk/psychedelic Rock affair is received warmly, and has a hit with the song 'Rubber Band'.
June 30, 1968: The Tea Set release 'Scream Thy Last Scream', their second album. Taking on a more Space Rock approach, combined with their previous efforts, the album is commercially successful, however receives mixed reviews due to its conflicting sound. Front man Syd Barrett is sectioned shortly after the albums release, having developed Paranoid Schizophrenia during the albums recording due to heavy drug use. David Bowie becomes the Front Man. They have a hit with their songs 'Scream Thy Last Scream' and 'Jugband Blues'.
June 1, 1969: Tea Set release 'More'. The album is their best received, with critical acclaim and commercial success. Bowie, Walters, Mason, and Wright are considered musical genius'; the songs 'Careful with That Axe, Eugene', 'Space Oddity', and 'Ibiza' becomes singles, and break the band through into the American audience. The group celebrate, however both Bowie and Walters are concerned they're becoming too mainstream. The pair agree to shift more towards their roots in Psychedelic Rock. They start work immediately.
December 9, 1969: Tea Set release 'For The Man Who Has Everything'. This album is largely an attempt to reclaim their Psychedelic roots. The Album is a success, however critics are lukewarm to it. The Albums sound, which contains elements of 'heavy rock', art rock, psychedelic, and progressive, serve as the incubus for the bands next albums.

Critics agree that the album is more developed than 'For the Man Who Has Everything', and is more progressive and heavy in tone, albeit with tinting of psychedelia. The songs 'Life on Mars', 'Hunky Dory', and 'Fearless' are hit. Walters announces that the band will take a long break to work on their next album.
March 1, 1973: Ziggy Stardust and the Dark Side of the Moon is released, and is considered the bands magnum opus.

April 23, 1964: President Kennedy appears on National Television, broadcasting from Sitka, and praises the fortitude of the Alaskan people on his final day in the state, and the conduct of Governor William A. Egan during the crisis, stating "If only this nation had more Governor's like Governor Egan. Someone who, in the face of a crisis, is prepared to help his people, showing great responsibility and fortitude. We need people like across this nation, be it from Birmingham to Sacramento". The specific naming of the cities are considered a direct attack against Governor Allen of Alabama, who considers suing the President for slander.

Richard Nixon appears for the first time since he was paralyzed as a special mystery guest on the panel show What's My Line?
