Did You Watch the Beatles Last Night on TV?
I fell in love with the Beatles the first time I saw them and I remember watching the 'FAB 4' on Ed Sullivan on that wonderful Sunday night at February 9, 1964 when 73 million views saw them performing. My friends and I all knew the words to their songs and we were all mesmerized by them; the English accent, the longer shaggy hair and the unusual clothing.
I was a Beatles fan for years and remember buying their albums and cutting out their pictures in teen magazines and pasting them all over my room.
Of course, I am not alone since almost everyone in the world knew who the Beatles were and loved them and followed them in the media. Amazingly the Beatles are still popular today with the young and old. Wow, not too many can grab the young kids these days as they have a new set of groupies.
I remember when John Lennon was shot and killed and how devastated I was and so was the whole world. Last night it brought tears to my eyes as he should have been standing there with Paul and Ringo. Also we miss George as he was wonderful and it was so sad that he got sick and died. Long will we remember the two missing Beatles. I included a picture of the Yoko Ono and John's son, John Lennon Jr. and he looks so much like his father.
Last night, at the end of the TV special, that Paul said 'We are here on stage, Ringo and I, but truly all four are standing here as George and John are standing here with us'. Wow, that was such a great statement and we will always love the FAB 4.
Did you watch the Beatles Special last night and were you amazed at how great it was? Who was your favorite Beatle?
