Well then either they don't get us, or we don't get "the point of this post".

Though I wasn't around then I love reading about them and watching the old documentaries on them, the one produced by Ed Sullivan's company is one of my favorites, showing the helicopter ride to Flushing Meadows and the ride in the armored van to Shea Stadium is unreal.

The old photos of the streets packed with people, hundreds of signs, the hotel they stayed at literally got mail sacks full of fan mail for weeks after they had left. Just mind blowing the reaction they caused every where they went.
