Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 172. This time we examine the year 1974 as Dolly Parton’s song “I Will Always Love You” reaches #1 on the country chart, 1949 as 1984 by George Orwell is Published, and 1984 as New South Wales decriminalizes homosexual sex between consensual males.
