It was 44 Years Ago Today..

#1 Post by T_Bone0806 » Sat Feb 09, 2008 8:57 am

..Mr. Sullivan told the band to play.

And a 6 1/2 year-old kid in his pj's had his little world rocked..literally.

February 9, 1964--the Beatles are introduced to America on the Ed Sullivan show.

Oh what a night.

Twelve years ago today, my sassy little baby was born.

We are going to see Wicked again today to celebrate the event.

And 5 days later, I was born. Coincidence? Or did they send my mom into labor?

No... I'm pretty sure that December 1963 was "Oh, What a Night". :D

Hmm..late December back in '63...probably wasn't much of a night for me...I had an early bedtime. Then again, maybe it was Christmas...waitaminnit, let me think...6 years old...nope, that was during the "coal in my stocking years"...

I remember watching sitting in my red rocking chair. My older sister sat in her blue one.

I screamed just like the big girls did.

I had no idea why I was screaming.

I didn't scream, but I knew at that precise moment that I wanted to be like those guys.

No, I still this those lyrics are insipid. Their later efforts were much better.

Those insipid lyrics didn't last long. Other than Dylan, who else was writing lyrics any more intelligent? And Dylan hadn't yet crossed over from folk to pop/rock. Anyway, I'll take those lyrics as long as they're attached to those wonderful melodies and harmonies. But to each his own.

Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes to Emma. I let her read your messages and she was touched.

She had a really nice birthday. She loved seeing Wicked again and we went out for Shabu Shabu at the Hollywood and Highland mall.
