4o Years Ago Today
As they wrote (sort of) in Sgt. Pepper's, it was 40 years ago today that the Beatles burst onto the American scene. Exhibit Marks Beatles' Journey to U.S. [Yahoo! LAUNCH]. Woah. A lot has changed since then. The relative innocence of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is just astounding in hindsight. But those four lads from Liverpool changed the world, began the youth culture that still pervades our society, and wrote some music that still resonates today.
