No -- I should have used the as my personal attempt at humor gone sour

I watched HoDo when I was growing up in NY and after we moved to L.A watched the Beatles on EdSu. A couple of years later, on a quite hot summer evening, the family went out for a drive with the top down and happened to pass by The Hollywood Bowl. The Beatles were performing: if you ever thought A Hard Days Night was fabrication...WHOA! It took us forever to get through the traffic. True Beatlemania.

I was trying to be funny too Paul. I didn't think anyone actually thought the Beatles were on Howdy Doody.

The Hollywood Bowl concert was one of their more famous American shows. There are clips of it on Youtube.

I know you were, Barry. I'm still waiting for someone to design my customized geezer icon.

What is Youtube?

Sometimes joking but always playful.

That was a great clip. I'd never seen it. Thank you!
