Well Ed Sullivan had a "Really big shooo" that night.
Hi Mike.
I got a big kick out of the author's statement that "Rock and Roll was a fad that died when Elvis was drafted into the Army."

Damn, Mr. Jones that sounds a bit bitter and perhaps a bit jealous....I remember my very successful uncle Rick from Knoxville saying while "Something" was playing on the radio during a family outing "The Beatles - in 20 years nobody will have ever heard of them" sorry Uncle Rick - you were smart only most of the time......

I watched that show. I wasn't the only one. A lot of us flattop sporting guys laughed at them until our girlfriends started eyeing boys with longer hair. Right about then, My Uncle Sam decided how long my hair would be for 4 years+.
I'm 81 now. I think the Beatles were the greatest musicians of the 20th century.

The Beatles will never amount to anything.
My GFs sister was overwhelmed by watching the Sullivan show. Her mom laid into her pretty good about it. It still bothers my GF 50 years later. Her sister was at the Shea stadium concert. It was a really Big Shoooooow
