    1. Villain

    2.Well the Albums Flowers and Their Satanic Majesties Request came out that year and I love every song on both albums. "The Rolling Stones.". Another favorite album of mine at that time was Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane. Dylan also had two albums come out that year, "Greatest Hits", and one of my all time favs "John Wesley Harding". The Doors broke on to the scene with their first two albums "The Door" and "Strange Days". Great album by Pink Floyd was also released that year "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn". One of my all time fav's Vanilla Fudge self-titled was released . And Absolutely Free by The Mothers of Invention was also released. Disraeli Gears by Cream was also given to us that year. And the Beatles gave us Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band along with Magical Mystery Tour. And Eric & The Animals gave us Eric Is Here, and Winds of Change. And one of my fav's from that year included the Bee Gees "Bee Gee's "1st.".

    Sorry Mike I could go on all day just with this part. It never seems to end.

    3.Monterey Pop Festival

    4.March on The Pentagon

    5.Ali, not sure of the musician as I believe there may have been more than one.

    6.can't think of it at this time

    7.A Day In The Life

    8.6 day war.......Israeli and the United Arab Republic.

    9.No idea, never followed the man.

    10. The Rolling Stones

    11:No idea

    12. I think it had to do with a band's name was it The Beatles or Mothers of Invention. No I don't believe so, Oh yes it was The Rolling Stone Magazine which was in the form a paper.

    take care

    dave

    Source(s): Sorry Mike no idea, it just don't ring a bell. And for the person who said 1967 was not the year of The Summer Of Love, should take a history listen, and realize Woodstock was the end .

    Good Morning, Mike....Gonna have to back on the ones I have not found as of yet.

    #1... First thought in my mind is "Bay of Pigs". Che was a very intelligent man, a husband, father, physician, author, diplomat. A mayor figure in the Cuban Revolution as well as a figure for Human Rights, (amongst other things..lol). Was he a villain/hero would depend on ones own personal opinion.

    #2. Lot's of great songs from 1967... Some of mine are:

    Light my Fire: Doors

    White Rabbit: Jefferson Airplane

    Green Tambourine: Lemon Pipers

    Itchycoo Park: Small Faces

    She'd rather be with me: Turtles

    I think We're Alone Now: Tommy James

    #3 I thought this might of been the Fantasy Fair Magic Mountain on June 10-11, but I can not find another name from this concert in another country? The only concert which I thought might be with the same theme would of been the Barbeque67 which was in May of 1967 over in London, but it does not have the same name------you have me stumped on this one....lol

    #4 I believe this would be the "March On The Pentagon", Washington, D.C.

    #5 Carl Wilson from the Beach Boys. Muhammand Ali

    #6 United Kingdom

    #7 A Day in the Life, although the Beatles had 3 songs this year banned by the BBC

    #8 Arab/Israli War--Six Day War from June 5th-10th, 1967

    #9

    10 I think that was Mick Jagger & Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

    11 I think that was the "Marine Broadcasting Offense Act", not sure.

    12 Rolling Stone

    1) Che Guevara was a Cuban revolutionary who, along with Castro, overthrew the Cuban government. Whether or not he was a hero or villain depends on who you talk to

    2) The entire Doors debut album and The Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt Peppers albums

    3) the Montery Pop Festival

    4) it was at the Pentagon and protesting Vietnam

    5) Muhammad Ali was the athlete. I kind of want to say Dylan was the musician but I'm not sure

    6) The UK?

    7) A Day in the Life

    8) the 6 Day War. It was fought between Israel and almost every neighboring country of theirs.

    9) The Beatles?

    10) The Rolling Stones

    11) The Marine Broadcast Offences Act

    12) Rolling Stone. Back then I'm sure it had credibility to its name

    You might add that the Monkees had four number one albums in 1967.
