It Was 45 Years Ago Today...
I'm so sorry I have neglected this wonderful, stupendous blog recently, but I've had Tech Week rehearsals for my new play that opens today. And then of course I've had school, which tends to take up a lot of time. But I haven't forgotten you!
So for today, just consider the monumental event that happened 45 years ago today. On February 7th, 1964, the British invasion began when the Beatles landed at JFK airport. Thousands of fans unexpectedly awaited their arrival, signalling the start of American Beatlemania.
Here's a clip from an excellent documentary about the Beatles' first trip to America. Watching their press conference just brings a smile to my face.
Aren't they just the most adorable thing you've ever seen? If I had been alive then and living anywhere near New York, I would have been up there with the best of those screamers. Beatles forever!
