2. I remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

He brought in a lot of bands over the years, He had the Rolling Stones, Animals, Dave Clark Five, and many others.
I saw Eric Burden and the Animals at Union College in 1966. It was a great show.
I had their first album, and my nephew, who was in grade school, brought it to his school for show and tell.
His teacher, a young woman, was stunned. She asked him if he really like this stuff. He answered yes.
He's my favorite nephew.

3. I used to watch the Ed Sullivan show with my Dad when I was a little kid

(I liked Topo Gigio.) Watched the Beatles debut with Dad. He was highly offended by their hair.
