The Beatles never really were the squeaky-clean boy band many Americans embraced 50 years ago on their debut tour of the United States, but their continued sampling and open use of drugs throughout the 1960s led many to think they tarnished their decent boys-next-door image - Paul McCartney, left, and John Lennon perform at the Washington Coliseum on Feb. 11, 1964.

Beatles, American-Style!

In some ways it feels as if the rock ‘n’ roll era is folding into itself! In the same week I witnessed the extraordinarily famous Eagles performing live in L.A.’s newly revamped Forum, I can now pick up a brand new box set of most of the Beatles albums, or a superb DVD celebrating the history of the Doors, and eagerly await this weekend’s Grammy Awards--which all these years later will feature a performance by former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!

The day Canada heard the Beatles - Feb. 18, 1963 — is a fascinating footnote in Beatles’ history. It’s the day Love Me Do, the Beatles’ first single, was released in Canada. Capitol Records of Canada was blessed with Paul White, a young Brit who headed the label’s new artist and repertoire department in Toronto. White delivered the Beatles to Canadian fans almost a year before the band played the Sullivan show.
