See the source image

On June 22, 1944, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed
the
G.I. Bill
, an unprecedented act of legislation designed to
compensate
returning members of the armed services—known
as G.I.s—for their
efforts in World War II.

As the last of its sweeping New Deal reforms, Roosevelt’s
administration created the G.I. Bill (officially the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944) hoping to avoid a relapse into the
Great Depression after the war ended.

Released on June 21, 1965, the Byrds’ debut album, Mr. Tambourine
Man
, marked the beginning of the folk-rock revolution. In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household name, with a #1 single
and a smash-hit album that married the ringing guitars and backbeat
of the British Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth of folk to create an entirely new sound.
