Remembering the Beatles
Published by admin under Firsts, Music, TV Show Memory, beatles on February 7, 2009It’s the anniversary of the Beatles unforgettable arrival to America…at least unforgettable to someone my age. I remember so clearly sitting in the Chapel of the private school I was going to, (I feel like I’ve shared this before…Deja Vu?? I’ll have to check.) Anyway, the girls were all abuzz about these guys called the Beatles who were coming to America. They were already popular in England, and one of their songs, “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was already a hit here in the USA. That was my first introduction to what would become a phenomena, watching girls faint, cry and scream hysterically on television, so loudly that you couldn’t even hear the music. My own collection of Beatle Cards and crush on Paul McCartney, the “cute Beatle”…reading all the vital statistics about each one of the Beatles on the back of those cards. Listening to their songs on my first Transistor Radio.
Enjoy again the arrival of the Beatles, thanks to the person who contributed this to YouTube, arriving February 7th, 1964 in Kennedy Airport from Heathrow:
I’m a Beatles fan, too, and remember all tht you said. I even watched the cartoon.
Boy, do I remember that day! I was home with a cold and watching TV when they appeared on the news. I fell in love, immediately! Paul was my guy, too, and made me swoon with unbridled, adolescent fervor. Thanks for the wonderful memory!
Hey girls,
Glad you enjoyed the flashback, thanks for stopping by, and hope you’re having a nice Valentines Day!
