Lyrics for “Paint It Black”
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Here we have the topten songs in year 1966.
Rated #1 in the list is
“Paint it Black” by The
Rolling Stones
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm...
I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm...
This song chosen by
many teenagers and
other folks really
represents what they
like in this year 1966.
Being party animals and
going insane!
This is the story, written by Jacqueline Susann, of the exploits and excesses of three pill-popping
showbiz heroines: Anne, the small-town girl supposedly modeled on Grace Kelly, who
captivates a millionaire but falls for an English cad; Jennifer, the beautiful Marilyn Monroe clone
who possesses everything - except immortality; and Neely, the ruthless Judy Garlandesque
understudy-turned-superstar. As friends - and enemies - they learn the hard way that fame,
fortune, beauty and stardom don't always equal happiness. Jacqueline Susann's sensational novel
staked her claim as a pop pioneer, perfectly crystallized the decadence of the 1960s - and ushered
in a whole new genre of mass-market fiction.
Drugs and shock and more -- Jacqueline Susann's addictively entertaining trash classic about three
showbiz girls clawing their way to the top and hitting bottom in New York City has it all. Though it's
inspired by Susann's experience as a mid-century Broadway starlet who came heartbreakingly close to
making it, but did not.
Quote From Reader
Oh, I love this book. I have to read it again, though, because I'd forgotten all about the breast cancer bit!
I think you're spot on about the cruelty, though one *hopes* that's just from the pills....but I doubt it.

Born in Philadelphia on August 20, 1921, Jacqueline Susann was forty-four
years old and a failed Broadway actress when she was diagnosed with
breast cancer. She wrote in her diary on Christmas Day, 1962, "I can't die
without leaving something. Something big." Susann went to her favorite
"wishing hill" in Central Park and made a deal with God. If He would give
her ten more years to live, she would give him a successful woman.
Four years later, Susann published her novel, Valley of the Dolls (1966),
about a woman struggling to make it as an actress in Hollywood. It details
her life along the way, a roller-coaster life filled with sex, glamour,
depression, and infighting. During her struggle, the woman gets wrapped
up in an ever escalating addiction to "dolls" (uppers and downers).
Jacqueline Susann was an extraordinarily successful writer who turned her
dynamic charm, chutzpah, and personality into a formidable marketing
machine. Despite a less than spectacular career as an actress, singer, and
playwright, she never lost confidence in herself. Blessed with sensual looks
and unbounded confidence, Susann went from unknown to the best selling
author of the 1960s. Her marriage to public relations/publicity guru Irving
Mansfield was a union of great advantage. Their only child, Guy, was born
autistic. Despite a stormy life together, marked by her constant affairs,
Mansfield was devoted to his wife. Her scandalous private life included
passionate involvement with Ethel Merman, the basis for "Helen Lawson" in
"Valley of the Dolls", and numerous actors and writers. After her
mastectomy, she apparently ended her philandering, but became even
more determined to find fame. By the time of her death, she had become
one of the cultural icons of the 1960s and had set numerous publishing
records.
We are honored to be here with info
about our president, President
Johnson. We have a great story about
him for you!
Johnson was born on August 27, 1908, in central Texas, not far from Johnson City, which his family had
helped settle. He felt the pinch of rural poverty as he grew up, working his way through Southwest Texas
State Teachers College (now known as Texas State University-San Marcos); he learned compassion for
the poverty of others when he taught students of Mexican descent.
In 1937 he campaigned successfully for the House of Representatives on a New Deal platform, effectively
aided by his wife, the former Claudia "Lady Bird" Taylor, whom he had married in 1934.
During World War II he served briefly in the Navy as a lieutenant commander, winning a Silver Star in
the South Pacific. After six terms in the House, Johnson was elected to the Senate in 1948. In 1953, he
became the youngest Minority Leader in Senate history, and the following year, when the Democrats won
control, Majority Leader. With rare skill he obtained passage of a number of key Eisenhower measures.
In the 1960 campaign, Johnson, as John F. Kennedy's running mate, was elected Vice President. On
November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson was sworn in as President.
First he obtained enactment of the measures President Kennedy had been urging at the time of
his death--a new civil rights bill and a tax cut. Next he urged the Nation "to build a great society,
a place where the meaning of man's life matches the marvels of man's labor." In 1964, Johnson
won the Presidency with 61 percent of the vote and had the widest popular margin in American
history--more than 15,000,000 votes.
Under Johnson, the country made spectacular explorations of space in a program he had
championed since its start. When three astronauts successfully orbited the moon in December
1968, Johnson congratulated them: "You've taken ... all of us, all over the world, into a new era. .
.."
Nevertheless, two overriding crises had been gaining momentum since 1965. Despite the
beginning of new antipoverty and anti-discrimination programs, unrest and rioting in black
ghettos troubled the Nation. President Johnson steadily exerted his influence against segregation
and on behalf of law and order, but there was no early solution.
What is the popular show you are
watching? You guessed it, its Batman.
This action-pack show has Bruce
Wayne (Batman) and Dick Grayson
(Robin Hood) as the main characters,
with many evil villains.
Many people love this
show, but I disagree. I
think Batman is just an
ordinary guy with no
special powers, like
superman. Batman is
just a guy with money
and a toolbox
compared to other
superheroes.
The arch villains of The United Underworld - The
Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler and The
Penguin - combine forces to dispose of Batman and
Robin as they launch their fantastic plot to control
the entire world. From his submarine, Penguin and
his cohorts hijack a yacht containing a super
dehydrator, which can extract all moisture from
humans and reduce them to particles of dust. This
campy Batman movie based on the 60's hit series, is
full of all your favorite main villains. The villains team
up on a plot to destroy all the worlds’ leaders from a
peace summit

This man is a huge role model for every
athlete. He didn’t quite with his problems,
and kept on moving. We brought you his
story.
Wilt Chamberlain was one of eleven children! His parents,
Olivia and William Chamberlain, were devoted to the family
and hard work. When Wilt was little, he helped around his
neighborhood with odd jobs for money.
When he was young, he had many medical problems. When he was a toddler, he got a sickness
called a hernia which required surgery. He then almost died in the fourth grade, when he caught
pneumonia. He also had problems with infected mosquito bites on his legs when he was a teenager.
When Wilt was playing basketball, his average was 50 points a game! Nobody could stop this
dominant 7' 2" player. With those features combined, you have a strong player just standing there in
your way of the hoop. In 1967, he led the Philadelphia 76ers and in 1972 the Los Angeles Lakers to an
NBA title. He was also the only player to score 100 points in a single game, WOW! Wilt Chamberlain
made amazing and outstanding achievements!
Quotes from Wilt Himself
”They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds."
— Wilt Chamberlain
"Everything is habit forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing."

Hi, I am Jack Black, here for Talk News 10, and I am interviewing Ponyboy
Curtis, and we are going to ask him how he his life is as a teenager in this
year 1966. So how are you Ponyboy? Ponyboy- I’m good, thank you.
How are you doing in your life right now? Ponyboy- Well, it isn’t really the
best. You see, I’m a greaser, and life isn’t easy for a greaser. We work hard
to get what we need and we are all family, which is a better advantage than
being a Soc.
We have interviewed
Ponyboy for this
year’s view from a
teenager.
May I ask what a Soc is? Ponyboy- They are people who are really rich and
mostly get what they want and get out of trouble easily, too easily I guess.
You don’t like the Socs? Ponyboy- Well, I can’t say I hate them all, but some just want trouble and will get into it.
Okay, and what do you usually do in the day? Ponyboy- Well, sometimes I go to the movies. I also play some games with my
gang and my brothers.
So you have brothers? Ponyboy- Yes, two.
What about your parents? Ponyboy-…. I don’t want to talk bout that please.
Oh, I’m sorry, well tell me about your brothers. Ponyboy- well, one of them is Sodapop, and he is the most handsome man I
know, and his eyes are stunning, and he is so good with girls. The other one is Darry. He is the man of the house, and he works
for us. He acts really mean with me, but I know he loves me.
Do you like to read? Ponyboy- Yes, I do.
What are some popular books that you know of right now? Ponyboy- Some are Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann,
Quotations from Chairman Mao by Mao Tse-Tung and much more.
Do you like music? Ponyboy- I listen to it.
So what do you think are the popular songs in this year? Ponyboy- I think that Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix) by Los Del Rio,
One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion, Nobody Knows by Tony Rich Project,
Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey, Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman, Tha Crossroads by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, I
Love You Always Forever by Donna Lewis, You're Makin' Me High / Let It Flow by Toni Braxton, and Twisted by Keith Sweat.
Also These Boots are made for Walking by Nancy Sinatra.
Wow, that’s a lot of songs. Well, I have some more questions, what type of fashion do you normally wear? Ponyboy- Well, I just
wear some jeans and a tee-shirt, and mostly a blue jeans sweater too.
Why about your hair? Ponyboy- I just put some grease on it and comb it back, like everyone else that’s a greaser.
How is it to be a teenager in 1966? Ponyboy- Well, it isn’t all bad sometimes. Being a teenager does have its ups and downs
though. It’s tuff to be a teenager.
You like this year we are in? Ponyboy- I can’t say I hate it, next thing you know it, it will be 1990. This year is likable though, I
have to say that.
Okay, well thank you for your time Ponyboy, and thank you for your story, and I hope you have a good day. Ponyboy- You too.
That was just Ponyboy giving us info of how being a teenager in 1966 feels like. I’m Jack Black, and I’ll see you on the next show
on Talk News 10, and goodnight America.
Famous actor Alan Arkin in “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians
Are Coming” was nominated for an academy award! He won too! What an
honor!
Alan Arkin is an Academy Award-winning American actor who is also an acclaimed director, producer, author, singer and composer.
He was born Alan Wolf Arkin on March 26, 1934, in Brooklyn, New York, into a family of Jewish intellectuals from Russia and Germany. In 1946 the Arkins moved from Brooklyn
to Los Angeles, California. His father, David Arkin, was an artist and writer, who worked as a teacher, and lost his job for merely refusing to answer questions about his political
affiliation during the 1950s Red Scare. His father challenged the politically biased dismissal and eventually prevailed, but unfortunately it was after his death. His mother,
Beatrice Arkin, shared his fathers views. Young Arkin was fond of music and acting, he was taking various acting classes from the age of 10. He attended Franklin High School,
in Los Angeles, then Los Angeles City College from 1951 - 1953, and Bennington College in Vermont from 1953 - 1954. He sang in a college folk-band, and was involved in a
drama class. He dropped out of college to form the folk music group The Tarriers, in which Arkin was the lead singer and played guitar. He co-wrote the 1956 hit "The Banana
Boat Song" - a Jamaican calypso folk song, which became better known as Harry Belafonte's popular version, and reached #4 on the Billboard chart. At that time Arkin was a
struggling young actor who played bit parts on television and on stage, and made a living as a delivery boy, repairman, pot washer and baby sitter. From 1958 - 1968 he
performed and recorded with the children's folk group, The Babysitters. He has also recorded an entire album for the Elektra label titled "Folksongs - Once Over Lightly."
In 1957 Arkin made his first big screen appearance as a lead singer with The Tarriers in Calypso Heat Wave (1957). Then he made his Off-Broadway debut as a singer in
"Heloise" (1958). Next year he joined the Compass Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri. There he caught the eye of stage director Bob Sills and became the original member of the
"Second City" troupe in Chicago. In 1961 Arkin made his Broadway debut in musical "From the Second City", for which he wrote lyrics and sketches, then starred as David
Kolowitz in the Broadway comedy "Enter Laughing" (1963), for which he won a Tony Award. He starred in a Broadway musical "From the Second City production, then returned
to Broadway as Harry Berlin in "Luv" (1964). Arkin made his directorial debut with an Off-Broadway hit called "Eh?" (1966), which introduced the young actor, named Dustin
Hoffman. He won a Drama Desk Award for his direction of the Off-Broadway production of "Little Murders" (1969), and another Drama Desk Award for "The White House
Murder Case" (1970). He also directed the original version of Neil Simon's hilarious smash, "The Sunshine Boys" (1972), which ran over 500 performances.
Arkin earned his first Academy Award nomination as Best Actor for his feature acting debut in a comedy The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966), by director
Norman Jewison, co-starring as Lt. Rozanov, a Soviet submariner who is mistaken for a spy after his boat accidentally wrecks aground in New England. Arkin demonstrated his
dramatic range as the psychopathic killer Roat in suspense film Wait Until Dark (1967), opposite Audrey Hepburn.
The stars: Carl Reiner, Eva Marie Saint and Alan Arkin

My opinions are simple. I don’t think Batman should be popular
because he is not cool, and he’s lame. I did like the athlete guy though,
because I am an athlete, and I’m never going to stop for my dream. The
technology back then was horrible. They didn’t have great technology
like we have right now.
The best selling novel surprised me because the lady sounds Mexican,
not being racist or anything. She had the name of it and a bit looked
Mexican. It shocked me too that she was forty-four years old and a
failed Broadway actress when she was diagnosed with breast
cancer. She still yet wrote books and kept on trying to amaze
people which she did.
The book itself made me realize something. In the year 1966, and not
to be inappropriate, but they talk about drugs and sex a lot. That
caught my eye too. Even in some of the songs I saw they were talking
about that.
I also was interested in Young Arkin, and how he was fond of
music and acting. He was taking various acting classes from the
age of 10. He attended Franklin High School, in Los Angeles,
then Los Angeles City College from 1951 - 1953, and Bennington
College in Vermont from 1953 - 1954. He sang in a college folkband, and was involved in a drama class. He dropped out of
college to form the folk music group The Tarriers, in which Arkin
was the lead singer and played guitar. I think that’s amazing to
accomplish all of this.
