Fab But Not Yet Famous
From a few weeks after “Love Me Do” was released in England, a Beatles interview. The lads are still sounding a bit uncertain about it all, and Ringo admits he’s been in the band “nine weeks now.”
Dig Those Crazy Graves
Apple TV+ is the only place to watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown this year, and TuneIn is the only place to hear Tom Hanks’ Spooktacular Halloween show on Boss Radio 66.
A Berry Good Show
Andrew Sandoval recommended watching this, so I am. Chuck Berry, age 46, at the BBC Theatre in 1972. Berry always traveled alone and played with pickup bands. Here he was backed by a band called Rocking Horse.
Note: Chuck Berry’s recording career began when he was 29, the age John Lennon was when the Beatles broke up.
