I remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show back in 1964. My brother and I thought it was an incredible performance, but our Dad scoffed, "They won't last."
Me, too, Len. I've played that clip, even with Paul's straining to hit the notes, five times. They were such a wonderful group and meant so much to so many. And still do...
That was awesome. I’m not quite old enough to remember Beatlemania, but close enough. Seeing how old Sir Paul is, though, makes me sad. Time passes so quickly. I also wonder what John Lennon would be doing now if he were alive.
It’s going to be an Abbey Road morning here in the Ruth house- thanks!
Bravo, John! Your words made me cry. What a glorious time to be alive. So glad I grew up with their music. Visited their childhood homes in Liverpool this summer - truly a pilgrimage. ❤️🎶

He can’t hit the notes in the songs he wrote, which is true for most baby boomers (I’m one, too).
One of the most impactful musicians of my lifetime!
I haven't been able to get that song out of my head since I watched it on the SNL 50 show. Thanks for a great article about it.

That’s so sweet. It was something to see. Thanks 🙏
Where do you live, Ruth? Florida here.. Though I'm in Utah today

Love hearing from you. Thanks.
Thanks, Debra. I’m envious. It is so true. I feel for these kids who have to get by with Bruno Mars and Harry Styles. Such a sweet post. Thank you
