Holy moly
Ed Sullivan was the show to watch on Sunday, especially for us after dinner at my grandparent’s home.
I very much remember watching this broadcast and thinking “eh, I like The Four Seasons better.”
I was only 9.

Shouldn’t that be 51 years?
I was -4 months.
tai…oops… (damn I hate getting older … I skip years)
Time. You’re always 10 years or so behind.
If you think that’s bad, it was 68 years ago today that Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.
For a little more perspective, consider that in 1964, an event occurring 51 years before would have taken place in 1913.
Greetings:
Beatles is for girls. Guys roll with the Stones.
an event occurring 51 years before would have taken place in 1913.
Like say, musically speaking, this
Sorry, Darlie.
Sure, you can build your string group, but we’ll bankrupt you.
So.
“Guys roll with the Stones.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
One hundred years ago this year Francis Albert Sinatra came into this World to swing.
I was 1.25 years old that day.
Don’t remember a blasted thing. And I still like Beatles cover songs better than the originals.
I was five, later in ’64, couldn’t care less about the Beatles then. Pretty much stayed that way ever since.
“Rainers on Parades” ~The Doors
Or not.
If I had a son, he’d look like the Beatle.
Barry Soetoro and I were four.
I was six.
If it was nine.
Plus one.
Plus, Frankly, my favorite juke-box song.
Ever.
b/w “Scotch and Soda”
Satisfy Me One More Time off the Some Nice Things I’ve Missed album, eh?
Interesting…
I remember when the Bay City Rollers were on Mike Douglas. Pretty much the same thing.
OK, whippersnappers, I was 12. and didn’t even have a TV. Now get off my lawn.
I was -17 years old. I have nothing of importance to add.
Meh. I was 2. I know I must have heard Beatles songs before “Get Back,” but it’s the first one I knew was the Beatles when I was hearing it.
I was -10 years old but in college I entered a Beatles phase that I haven’t really left yet.
Make a gin and tonic or just splash out some bourbon and put on Revolver.
(You can also do this with lots and lots of different groups with lots and lots of different spirits. Every day is an adventure.)
The idea of the Beatles though, that thing itself, was Fugazi at the Fireside Bowl somewhere around ’93 for me.
Speaking of which, after watching Whiplash and recommending the movie to friends I was lost for awhile in a youtube spiral.
Seems as though Art Tatum was the Beatles as well for a little bit.
Actually, BH, I would say Francis Albert was The Beatles of his time when he went solo in the 1940’s.
Shrieking and fainting girls – the whole bit.
I see it, Bob.
Makes me wonder. If ‘ol blue eyes is a Beatlesque person then maybe a number of big band leaders were as well a decade or two earlier.
Which makes me wonder as well, perhaps music just has this intrinsic potential and that this blood pumping swing is reiterated very well every decade or two.
Maybe “the Beatles” aren’t a good musical metric. Maybe it just means “enlivening” and “of its time”.
My comment above is probably the laughable height of a unnecessarily-stated truism.
I get that.
It’s sorta the whole question of history. Is it all the same over and over again or do the little details actually matter and make it something truly new and unique each time? I don’t know myself.
I think there are unique elements and ones that show-up every time.
Wagner could cause a sort of Hysteria. He also provoked violent reaction during performances.
But, then again, Operas, especially in France, were often interrupted by the throwing of rotten fruit going back to at least the early 19th Century.
