The siege of Derry began in December 1688 when 13 apprentice boys[6] shut the gates of the city against a regiment of twelve hundred Jacobite soldiers, commanded by the Roman Catholic, Alexander Macdonnell, Earl of Antrim. Siege was lifted on 28 July 1689 (Old Style).
The Relief of Derry is celebrated on the second Saturday in August, in memory of the lifting of the siege.
In 1969, the Apprentice Boys' parade around the walls of Derry sparked off three days of intensive rioting in the city, known as the Battle of the Bogside. The disturbances are regarded by some as the start of the Troubles.

Wow. I forgot how stunningly beautiful Sharon Tate was. Amazing photo.

The Sharon Tate pic is one of the saddest pics I’ve ever seen.

My birthday is tomorrow born in 1969. Great post. Great year. Can you believe I don’t have 69 in my user name....

That pic of Sharon Tate with the socks for her soon to be born child breaks my heart. Fuck Charles Manson. May he burn in hell!

I pay little attention to celebrities, but when Sharon Tate was murdered, for some reason I was as devastated as if I had known her.

He was the nazz. With God-given ass.

To me, he kinda looks like Sigourney Weaver in that pic. Probably that fabulous hair

I didn't realize I was seeing a man until the caption scrolled up. He's kinda pretty.

They thought their world was high tech. We're living in their scifi, right now, just as we're living in someone else's ancient civilization.

Never knew that about Warhol. Crazy shit!

Did anyone notice the racial diversity in the first pic? Cleary boobs are what will bring us together.

That’s a re-enactment/homage done by Katie Holmes. It was not from 1969.

Because nobody likes sticky boobs.

#43 “friend” is Playboy Playmate Barbi Benton. total babe in the day
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Just the daily Hugh-meat that day, apparently.
SamArt53
Actually, she lived with Hef for 9 years. He’s quoted as saying, “My only regret is I didn’t marry Barbi.”

...and there it is. (too lazy to find the gif.)

Hef wasn't too hard on the eyes either.

Right? I had no idea he was that handsome when he was younger!

Guess so...he married her.

One of his great loves.
PikachuOnDeezNuts
Correction, though she appeared in the magazine and on numerous covers, Barbi was never actually a Playmate
Logwarrior999
Kennedy "accidentally" drove off He was drunk, and left his girlfriend to die.

And those Cunts in Cali didnt even have the balls to execute her murderers. Fuck you Cuntifornia.

Good, it means you still have a soul. Don't lose it.
CrazyLizardLady86
With the baby socks and all, omg, yes
jacko92577
She was such a beautiful woman. Disgusting for her to die that way.
JupitersWitch
She begged them to save her baby. It's still just so tragic. Even worse is her killers were never executed.
rockadoodledoo
Didn’t realize she died on August 9th...same day as the atomic bomber was dropped...and I was born. Yikes.

Yeah Kennedy drunkenly crashed into the river and left the scene, changing his clothes to make it seems like he wasn't there... Scumbag move

i think it’s funny how people equate black panthers and kkk when kkk was literally only based on hate
intaglioguy
Black Panthers were vilified because they preached that Blacks deserved to be treated equally. Those "uppity negroes" scared white racists.

So the race-baiting agit-prop has got you arguing with each-other - as was intended.

Whiskey drunk blue blood. “I do what I want”....and they did.

Unfortunately that did not apply for poor Rose Kennedy.

The only good thing that came out of that mess was that it completely eliminated any possibility of Ted ever being president.

They still do, his grand niece just died this week of a drug overdose.
TokyosNotFarEnough
I wondered if that was what happened.
DVSBSTrD
The one thing you can always trust in a Kennedy is that they will always find the stupidest way to die.
dogfrost9
That's a nice tree. It'd be a shame if someone were to ski into it.
TokyosNotFarEnough
Or to kill someone & get caught (looking at you, Michael Skakel) whether they go to jail or not (turns to look at Teddy K).
lenomdeplume
Whatever you say Skippy.

I know he was stupid drunk... but I always thought the bridge had a guard. That bridge is crazy... dark night + one false move, you’re done.

“Drunk” is the keyword

2/? Him at a party. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jo_Kopechne
mouseforlife
Oh, I’m not saying it was right... he should’ve been sentenced to jail. Just saying it’s not how I pictured the bridge.
sharon838
I had t pictured it that way either. You’re right. It is crazy in that there are no guard rails or anything.

These are ALL fucking excellent! Thank you for the captions. Also, Katie Holmes in #1.
