Based on Harlan Ellison's novella of the same name from 1969, A Boy and His Dog should go down as the most underrated movie ever made that revolves around an apocalypse. In this case, the landscape is a post-apocalyptic southern United States, set in 2024 as the titular duo work in tandem to survive the harsh realities they've become acquainted with. The boy's name is Vic, while his pooch's name is Blood. And in premise, A Boy and His Dog stands out from most other stories of its kind for featuring the concept of telepathy.

The Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival was a rock festival held on the Labor Day weekend of 1972 near Griffin, Indiana on Bull Island. A crowd estimated at 200,000 to 300,000 attended the concert, four times what the promoters estimated. Food and water were in short supply, and the gathering descended into relative chaos. After the show was finished, remnants of the crowd burned the main stage.
It was a glorious disaster.
