The Breakfast Club was in session 39 years ago today.

The Breakfast Club

Mood board

Dear Mr. Vernon.

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice the whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.

It Was 60 Years Ago Today

- On Feb. 9, 1964, the Beatles landed on “Ed Sullivan” and everything changed

It was 60 years ago today - Feb. 9, 1964 - that the Beatles appeared on “the Ed Sullivan Show” and everything changed.

Much has been written about how with a five-song set - “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You,” “She Loves You,” “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” - the Fabs turned 73 million Americans inside out. When it was over, parents were losing their minds as boys decided they didn’t need haircuts - but did need guitars - and girls found they needed a change of knickers.

Less discussed is just how good the Beatles were live. But it’s all there for the hearing in the four songs - “All My Loving” is MIA - available on YouTube. And though being able to sound like your records isn’t particularly important today, it was incredibly important on the cusp of rock ‘n’ roll’s second coming.

But the Beatles are not faking it, as the occasional off-key vocal proves. And even though John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were less than perfect, they were also perfection personified.

For despite being on a television soundstage not made for music and despite the first hint of the screaming fans that would cause the Beatles to leave the concert stage for good just two years later, the Fabs sound, well, fab. What becomes obvious is that the band’s time honing its chops in clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg had paid big dividends by ’64 and the Beatles, in the pre-concert-extravaganza era, were an incredible in-concert band.

Just imagine what it would’ve been like had the Beatles regularly played 90-minute sets through high-quality sound systems.
