Oh the memories that movie has.
It is on TV and I have found myself crying for what was and what can never be again.
The songs are still great and they look so young.

Oh for the good ole days.


I wonder if all their movies will come out in DVD form one day?

I also understand there is a play opening on Broadway on the life of John Lennon. I wonder who is playing "That Woman". I shall have to keep a eye out for the reviews.
Or maybe one of the members of FT who lives in New York is planning to see it and wouldn't mind telling us how it was and who played who and what the music was like.Please

I shall check the net also for information.


Oh my they are doing Tell me Why and watching the cuts from the Ed Sullivan show makes me nostalgic.

Anyone here remember where you were when they appeared on Ed Sullivan.I remember sitting in my living room and my parents weren't impressed.

I wonder if the music of today will hold up like alot of the sixties music does?
Think I will pop in my copy Of HELP.

Where was I? Easy...wasn't born yet...lol. I sometimes hear people say that they didn't like the Beatles because they were into the Rolling Stones and vice versa but to perfectly honest, both groups made some superb music. Music today will never be like the music back in the sixties where people sang and made music because they loved too and not just to make a quick buck and become popular....

Oh is that ever true Sypher.
I agree they wrote because they loved what they were doing.
Lennon and McCartney,the Beach Boys,Jagger and Richards are our Lerner and Loew, Gilbert and Sullivan,Rogers and Hammerstein.


"Where was I? Easy...wasn't born yet...lol"

Too bad as you missed a fun time. LOL LOL!!

That Sunday night? I was at my grandmother's house, to welcome the cousins home from England, where they'd been living for some time. They were all excited and telling us about these new singers we'd never heard of before tonight...doesn't seem so long ago. But I guess it was.I was six and didn't say a lot, but I took it all in. Sitting there cross legged on the rug, watching the big somewhat snowy black and white tv. We were all hushed, listening to Ed introduce these young boys. Who knew those innocent, glowing [black and white] faces would change everything on this side of the pond -forever?

Here in the UK on Radio 2 they did a programme called best 100 songs of the 20th century-which one came first? The Beatles with Yesterday!

I remember when The Beatles were on Sullivan that night - the first time I got the guts up to commandeer the TV from my parents. I HAD to watch it. My parents had a different idea, of course, but were soon pulled in. What amazed me, as I recall, was all those screaming fainting girls - even as a kid I couldn't understand whipping oneself into such a lather about just a singer or singers. Then my Mom reminded me about Elvis and Frank Sinatra who caused such similiar uproar. I'm glad I forced them to let me watch that night, though. They got to relive their youthful memories and were pretty aware that I was having my first musical milestone. We bandied words like "mop top", "bobby soxer" and "Elvis the Pelvis" around. I liked that night.
