Yes Dan, I was. I was 11 1/2 years old, and sat in my parents' bedroom and watched this amazing rock and roll band on TV. I hadn't really listened to much music up to that point, but after seeing them my parents bought me a little record player and I started to buy 45's. Albums came later.
I also saw the Beatles live twice, in 1964 and again in 1966.
And as I type I'm listening to a special edition of the weekly show Breakfast with the Beatles, honoring the anniversary. It's hosted by Ken Dashow, who is a Beatles fanatic.
