The Beatles Edition

In 1964 on February 7th the Beatles arrived at the Kennedy Airport in New York to thousands of screaming fans.  Their first scheduled appearance was on the Ed Sullivan Show. The studio, which normally seated 728 people in the audience, had over 50,000 people trying to buy tickets.  And we know now that over 45% of America's population watched them play their concert on TV.
 
Newsweek's review of the show reads, "Visually, they are a nightmare: tight, dandified, Edwardian/Beatnik suits and great pudding bowls of hair. Musically, they are a near-disaster: guitars and drums slamming out a merciless beat that does away with secondary rhythms, harmony, and melody. Their lyrics (punctuated by nutty shouts of “yeah, yeah, yeah!”) are a catastrophe, a preposterous farrago of Valentine-card romantic sentiments.” The article ended with the following prediction, “…the odds are they will fade away, as most adults confidently predict.”
 
Well, we all know that was wrong...

Lucy in the sky
by Kiara Brinkman

"It's the first day of seventh grade, and everything is going downhill for Lucy Sutcliffe. At school, she has the feeling her friends are all leaving her behind. At home, her single father is in a rut, and her perpetually traveling photojournalist motheris more absent than ever. Worst of all, Lucy's grandmother is undergoing chemotherapy and is no longer the warm, vibrant presence that her family has come to depend on. But everything changes the day Lucy discovers a box of her father's Beatles records. Inspired by their music, she gets a drum set and forms an all-girl rock band with her friends. But can she keep the band together when petty rivalries, unrequited crushes, and outside pressures threaten to tear it apart?"
