Tom Shales had a great column yesterday in the Washington Post, with a wonderful headline: "Yesterday Came Suddenly: On DVD, Ed Sullivan Meets the Beatles." A quote:
For some of us, however, especially those who are baby boomers and older, the cultural significance and the tonsorial significance (such a fuss was made over their hair, which was long but impeccably kempt) are almost beside the point. There is in these sounds and images another opportunity to be teleported back in time. Improbable or even foolish as it sounds, I had tears in my eyes on the first few notes of "All My Loving," their first number. I didn't even know why.Posted by Marcia Oddi at February 21, 2004 10:42 AM
