He was a stone-faced puritan -- America's arbiter of status quo -- but had a sly sense of humor , and in the segregation-tainted 1950's, welcomed blacks to his stage, and in the 1960's showcased rock n' roll's most anti-establishment acts. His show, the longest-running variety show in history, ran from 1948 to 1971.

That is awesome! You started my day off right with two of my favorite Beatles songs. This captures the Beatles in the era I love the best. IMO, this double A sided single (released June 10, 1966) began the transformation of how we think about rock music. And with Revolver in August 1966, rock would never be the same. Thanks!

All us girl would set in the car and sign with them and shack our heads and scream, that was the good old days. Flashback can remember it all. great post and vedio.
