Sunday, February 9, 1964. It was fifty years ago today… The British Invasion began on the Ed Sullivan Show.
How will I celebrate? Maybe I’ll play with these toys Tom gave me for Christmas.
I’ve got a ticket to ride.

Who goes there? Please leave comments so (An Aries Knows)!
One day I will tell you how I used to vex one of my coworkers with my own Marika stylized version of Ticket to ride … it was a thing of beauty.
I’m sure it was.
During the part of my childhood in England, one of the first albums I obtained there was this Beatles greatest hits (vol 1) record on the “Muisc For Pleasure” record label. I enjoyed watching that red oval rotate on the platter as I played it, but the record died a tragic death.

They are so amazing–no lip synching there.
And so beautifully young.
Since I’m thirty-five…oh, the heck with it. I was sitting in front of the TV with my family when the Beatles performed on Ed Sullivan. It was GRRREAT.
You will forget I admitted that. 😉
I’m quite sure that it was a future you who was sitting there.
The magic of time travel!
Surely you knew 35 was a magic number.
Damn Brits get everywhere!
Thank the rock and roll gods!
