My Michelle~

Strong women make some people nervous. To bad. She has been a source of delight in this White House. She colored it so bright and beautiful. What an inspiration she has been to girls everywhere.

I am going to miss her strength and dignity.

Wonderful animation of the Beatles Michelle.

Remembrance

Like Yesterday: America Meets the Beatles

When everything changed, 50 years ago today



It was 50 years ago today — Feb. 7, 1964 — that the Beatles took the U.S.A. The four sprightly young Merseysiders landed at New York City’s newly renamed John F. Kennedy Airport (formerly Idlewild) and emerged from Pan Am flight 101 two days before they were to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show. Three thousand fans screamed and, with an urgent group wave toward the Fab Four, effectively buried all previous heartthrob vocalists. Frank Sinatra? A fossil in a tux. Elvis Presley? “He’s old and ugly,” one girl at the airport snorted. (The King had just turned 29 — that’s like 80 in pop-idol years.) A gaggle of fans sang “She Loves You” into the impassive faces of the city’s cops, and some carried signs: “Beatles are Starving the Barbers,” “Beatles Unfair to Bald Men” and, in an early clue to the protest generation, “England Get Out of Ireland.”






Not all those present were unabashed admirers of the new blokes on the block. “It’s phenomenal that people would come to see this and yet they wouldn’t come to see the President,” one young man observed to the Maysles brothers, who were filming a documentary called The Beatles First U.S. Visit, released on DVD with extra footage in 2004. “President Johnson came a few days ago, and there was practically nobody here.” But, as Babe Ruth supposedly said in 1930 when asked why he made more money than President Herbert Hoover: “I had a better year.”

Luv ya , Lovemydog.
