Today marks the 47th Anniversary of the most significant date in Beatles History – February 9, 1964 – The Day The Beatles Conquered America! It was such a clear line in the sand moment! One day The Beatles were the new hot up and coming band with the top two songs. The next day it was the only thing anyone at school was talking about. The girls all had crushes on their favorite Beatle, and the guys we so jealous they immediately started to grow their hair longer and learned to play guitar. (I know. I was one of them!) Seeing and hearing them Live on The Ed Sullivan Show that Sunday Night convinced us right then and there, that they were ‘it’. What an explosion! And it kept getting better and better! When you hear the thousands of interviews with other rock stars who followed, their answer on how they got started is universal –  “I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and I just had to do that too!” If you have the DVD, put it on tonight at 8PM and imagine it is 1964! I guarantee you will get chills! In 1974, our first FEST celebrated the 10th anniversary of this special occasion. Now, 37 years later (& 47 years since the Ed Sullivan Show), Beatles fans of all ages and from all over the country still Come Together to celebrate our common love for THE BEATLES at THE FEST FOR BEATLES FANS. Hope you can join us at the next FEST, the weekend of March 25-27 at the NJ Crowne Plaza Meadowlands.
