One response to the Beatles' American debut in 1964!

I wonder whatever happened to that group

I've read that many times over the years. When i went to school on February 10, 1964, in 8th grade, i was expelled for having long hair. Not suspended, expelled. My hair looked exactly as it had the previous Friday, very much like JFK's, kinda down on my forehead. The Beatles really scared a lot of adults.

Times change but old people never do.

Oh dear - I'm sure Paul Jones got hit in the eye for that one.
Where is Paul McCartney now? Must have got a job as a bus driver.

This column did not age well

Sounds like an SW rant. 😂

Interesting to read McCartneys comments recently on touring the U.S. back then.

A disinterested media and confrontational news reporters.

FWIW, George Harrison once tore into groups like U2 and Spice Girls while saying the Beatles would last forever. He's been right so far.

Rock n' Roll as a "fad", is this guy my grandfather?

This is priceless! He must've been from the deep South. Oblivious to the changing world...

RedBaron · M

That certainly aged well! 🤣

The only column this guy ever wrote that is long-lasting. Talk about being totally wrong. He's not the only one who viewed the Beatles (incorrectly) as long-haired no-talents.

The man had a true insight into popular culture, didn't he? LOL But, what can I say -- I preferred The Stones and The Dave Clark Five.

Yeah, old white guys... wrong then and wrong today.
