The Beatles. You got to see the frickin' Beatles. I bow to your greatness.
There was a radio station in Montgomery, AL called WBAM back then, and the owner owned stations in Memphis, Birmingham, and Jacksonville, FL, also. He had booked The Beatles to play in his four towns during that 66 tour. My folks were all set to buy us tickets, and our whole family was going to go.
And then Lennon had to open his big fat mouth. And then Birmingham started burning records. And then, as if by magic, Birmingham and Montgomery were dropped from the tour (although Memphis and Jacksonville remained). My folks didn't want to make the drive that far, so I never got to see them.
Dang it.
