Which just happens to be the first time 'mind-blowing' was used.

Known for a long time this was an amazing year, culturally ... it really is incredible how much happened in 1966 ... but there is LOT of expressions there I'd have never guessed ... in both temporal directions.

In one form or another that's always been its name.

Surely it was mentioned in local newspapers, on any maps of area and the Island and it's been a US naval station since 1899
