Jules, if there's an online link to that article somewhere I'd love to read it. "the two weeks that broke the Beatles in America". Had to have been an amazing publicity feat for the times. Bob, I'd love to hear some if the scoop if you're willing to share.
I was seven years old in 1964. After that first appearance on Ed Sullivan, my older sister was a nut case. I had "Beatle bangs" by summer. Had a band by the time I was 10. Haven't been right since.....................
