My folks said no Bo. Or Elvis! Saw Holly, who was way ahead of his time, and made doggone sure I saw all three of the Beatles performances–but I had to sneak out of the house to do it! I could hardly hear the music because of the screaming girls in the room and in the Sullivan studio audience. Ed was a show all by himself. Weird and wired with a fully-charged electric shock system pretty much describes his movements. Great history of Sullivan, his show and the way he ruled what the stars could or couldn’t do. Please stay the hell away from Hedda Hopper!
