That was funny. The interviewer was ignoring Ringo and at the end George decides to say "this is Ringo"

It was 1963. Ringo was the drummer. Usually no one cares about the drummer, but that was especially so in those days. Also, George was remarkably glib, for being a third banana; it appears John and Paul weren't too talkative that day.

I was in 2nd grade in '63-'64, and I'll never forget all week, Feb 3 to Feb 7, my classmates were saying "The Beatles are coming". I had no clue what they meant. Sunday evening, February 9th, I found out..

@danschreffler1280 3 жыл бұрын

Ironic? No, you see John Lennon had JFK killed because he knew that in America's sadness, they would embrace the Beatles in a big way. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was originally called "I Wanna Carcano Rifle". Words were changed to appeal to Americans. Later Lennon boasted about his deed in the song "Happiness Is A Warm Gun". In 1976, the FBI made a deal with Lennon in which he could stay in the country if he made sure that he worked to keep Ronald Reagan out of the White House. When Lennon failed to do this.... well, you know the rest. The task to eliminate Reagan then fell to Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits who was NO BEATLE and failed miserably.

John Lennon was such,a great leader of a band. John alway gave the other members , a chace to speak. Most leaders wanna do all the talking and answering questions.

@Fritha71 2 жыл бұрын

Hahah, John didn't see himself as a leader per se so of course he had nothing against the others talking - it was a four-way in this band when it came to interviews and John knew that very well, the others spoke freely and even interrupted him freely if they felt like it, John had no say in matters like that. And very soon Paul was as much of a "leader" as John was, of course. This myth of John leading The Beatles really needs to die already.

The story on this that aired on CBS Sunday Morning gives the airdate for this story as Dec. 10, 1963 on Cronkite's Evening News. Katie Couric said that Dec. 10 story was the first reporting about the Beatles on American TV. I can certainly see why the assassination would bump this off the 6 pm hour for several days, but which date was the actual first airing?

And only hours later President Kennedy was assassinated. I was 11 and of course wasn't watching morning TV then. First time I've seen this clip. Little did we know that right after the new year (1964) our lives were going to change! It's also said that their records were played in late December 1963 on several radio stations but I don't recall hearing anything until the second week in January and that was I Want to Hold Your Hand. After Ed Sullivan in February it was all over and America fell hard! Up until then, we were pretty much enthralled with the music. Once I heard and saw them, I never looked back. Been a life-long fan ever since. For me, there's never been anyone like them and never will be.

The Beatles were being interviewed in England at the time. There's a five hour time difference in the U.S. Kennedy was shot at 12:30 p.m. on 11-22--63. That would be 5:30 p.m. in England. The Beatles that day had already been interviewed before the death of Kennedy had occurred.
