Ringo Reflects On Beatles Ed Sullivan Show Debut
. "Incredible," Ringo said backstage at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles Monday night, where he was receiving the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace's "Lifetime of Peace and Love Award." "It was Ed Sullivan, and it was a big show, and we didn't know while we were playing that 70 million people were watching, but it was being in America that was so exciting. All the music we loved was in America; it came from America to England. Where we come from, Liverpool, it was great because it was a port, so all of the guys from New York would bring the tracks over. Vinyl in those days, the LPs, and it was just great. I could feel the buzz, even on the plane, it was so exciting. I went, Aaaaah!" "It was crazy," he says of the buzz in New York on that day, "and it was just like everywhere else for us. The other good news was that with Murray the K and Cousin Bruce, we're on the radio, in our hotel rooms." more on this story hennemusic is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
