Next Sunday February 9th CBS will repeat that legendary
Ed Sullivan episode where the Bestles made their debut.
It was that appearance on that day that inspired me to
grow my hair long. Their hair was short compared to later
years when guys like me grew their hair to waist length or
even knee length like I had in the 80s.
Yes their hair was short but when you grow uour hair you
have to start somewhere. But that short hair very controversial at the time since it wasn't as short as many thought it should
be.
"It was fifty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
8-10pm eastern time on CBS.
At 59 years old I now feel really really old.
