Remember these lads - how young girls stood screaming at the airport when they stepped off the plane and some fainted? Ohh, the glories of the past. I was just a child and knitted this scarf in royal blue and an awful shade of peachy/pink. I wanted to wear it to the airport when the Beatles came to Melbourne. Mum wouldn't let me though, I had to go to school and I wasn't the sort to wag school. Not that I would have known how to even get to the airport. Sigh...
Today's quote: As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead - George Harrison.
I remember when they came to my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. I was too young to go, but I still had a huge crush on Paul.
ReplyDeletePaul was my favourite too. I thought he was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat statues of the Fab Four.
ReplyDeleteI was in grad school at the time and remember when they appeared on Ed Sullivan for the first time. I thought then that they couldn't sing and looked really dorky.
ReplyDeleteGuess I may have been wrong!
They really did cause a revolution, these four lads from Liverpool.

ReplyDeleteIs it true that Paul was in a group before Wings?
ReplyDeleteI remember those days well and I also always liked the George Harrison quote. Definitely not the Beatles without John Lennon.

ReplyDeleteI remember seeing them on TV on the Ed Sullivan Show...their maiden appearance in the USA. My older sister & I were glued to the TV set and my heart raced when they started to sing. Ahhh those were the days.
