Sweet concert! This is an ad in The Washington Post on February 11th, 1979 for a Kenny Rogers concert. Almost 35 years ago, this was a Sunday, and while Washingtonians were heading to Landover for the concert, the Shah in Iran fell and Ayatollah Khomeini took power.
Below is a video that we dug up on YouTube from the History Channel’s documentary “Crisis in Iran” narrated by Mike Wallace.
Actually, this concert took place nearly 35 years ago (not 25).
In fact, Dottie’s been gone now for more than 22 years.
This was actually nearly 35 years, not 25, and Dottie has been gone now for more than 22 years.
So…I feel old that I something I remember (the fall of the Shah of Iran) is featured in Ghosts of DC. *nods* Had to happen, yeah? 😉
