So far I see no mention whatsoever that today is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in New York. No HuffPost, no NYT, not even the Google page. People! This was the beginning of a new era in music! I don't say this as a fan of the Beatles, particularly, because I really am not, but I do recognize the enormous contribution they made to popular music. Are we saving up our enthusiasm for Sunday, which is the 50th anniversary of their first appearance on Ed Sullivan? Maybe that's it. TV trumps all, after all.
On my way to Boston for a few days of museums and relaxation, and to turn 50 on Monday. :)
