For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion...

Let there be cake
Welcome to my Blog!!

Having an opinion is better than not having a thought of your own.
I have many of both....
Pull up a pew and grab a hot, steaming mug of your choice.

Prompt: On this day in 1964 The Beatles' made their 4th appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show", which featured an interview and a pre-recorded performance of "You Can't Do That". Did you ever watch The Ed Sullivan Show? What's your favourite Beatles song? If not, the Beatles what was your favorite performance?
***
I don't mind the Beatles, but I'm not a huge fan of them either. I know a few of their songs - because who doesn't, but it's hard to have a favourite - Probably Hey Jude - because I think I heard that Paul McCartney wrote it for John Lennon's son.

I know half the rock bands wouldn't be around without their influence - especially those from the UK. They are still heroes in Liverpool. There are even statues - I think. My mother was a teenager in the 60's and remembers Beatlemania. She said it was madness - I don't think she was a fan. My dad was more of an Elvis fan. And Tom Jones. I didn't grow up listening to them. And, my sister is a lot older than me, so I grew up listen to 80's rock and metal... very different to the Beatles.

I do know that the Beatles were the first boy band - except they could play instruments and write their own songs... not many boybands can do that these days.

I have never watched, or heard of, the Ed Sullivan Show. It must be an American thing. Maybe a talk-show/variety thing? An early Jimmy Kimmel?!? I'm sure it was groundbreaking like the Beatles.
