"I'll take you anywhere you wanna go..."
If you said, "The Ides of March, 1970," you get 15 bonus points. If you asked, "What is that 'Ides of March' thing all about?" allow me to explain: it was a band, back in the 70s. But, before that, it was a famous line from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, referring to a warning given to Caesar by a soothsayer about the danger he faces on March 15th, the day he was assassinated.
Ides of March - that's how they talked back then, I guess. The ides means the middle. So: beware the middle of March. But, "ides" sounds cooler... and Billy the Shake was all about writing cool stuff. Back in his day.
Which brings me to this blast from the past meme photo...
