It was 20 years ago today... or 42...

Forty-two years ago today, the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Who would have thought that something with that many decades behind them can still generate as much excitement in young people as they do? Almost inevitably, I meet a Beatlemaniac at almost every speech I give. All I can do is smile and thank the universe for the betterment of the world that the Beatles brought to all of us.
