🧠 Lecture: 1976: America Reborn with Punk, Jimmy Carter and Apple

🎤 Speaker: David Browne

Was America’s bicentennial also its last great inventive year? Join us for an engaging evening as author and cultural critic David Browne revisits 1976—a year that reshaped politics, music, technology, and television.

From the Ramones’ explosive first album and the election of Jimmy Carter to the founding of Apple Computer and the Emmy coronation of “Saturday Night Live,” 1976 signaled that the country was emerging from post-Watergate gloom into a bold new era. Browne will explore how these seemingly disparate moments reflected a profound shift in American identity, attitude, and possibility.

David Browne is the author of eight books, including “Talkin’ Greenwich Village.” He writes for Rolling Stone and other outlets and examines music, history, and culture in his Substack newsletter, “The DBrief.”

Come reflect on a transformative year that deserves to be remembered for much more than tall ships in the harbor. Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌
