Today in rock history - The Beatles hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time on this day with "I Want To Hold Your Hand". It was the beginning of the British invasion. It was the start of my favorite era in rock music. It was the day that American performers said "this won't last". But it did last... all the old rules slowly ceased to exist. I was one of the first kids in school to comb my hair down... I got chewed out by a teacher. A year later the same teacher had a better Beatle haircut than I did. What a wonderful time to grow up!
