We should talk about the Beatles.

I'm one of the members who can remember seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday.  However, not too many people recall that their first introduction to the American public was earlier that week when a clip of them was shown on the NBC News with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.  Which I remember watching.  Here's a current report on the clip.

Where you one of the many screaming teenagers back then?

No.  I preferred The Dave Clark Five, Herman's Hermits, Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Monkees, etc.  I didn't like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.  I've never had good taste in (popular) music.  Having said that I didn't like them, I did see A Hard Days Night.

I screened a Spanish film at the festival, a true story about a schoolteacher who was a Beatles fanatic and who set out to meet with John Lennon when he heard that Lennon was in Almería to act in a movie ("How I Won The War" directed by Richard Lester). It's a great film, one of the very few from this year's festival that I truly want to watch.

To make a long story short, the schoolteacher did eventually meet with his idol. Apparently Lennon spent some of the time correcting the Beatles song lyrics the Spaniard had jotted down in his notebook. At the time, record sleeves didn't include song lyrics so fans would frequently get them wrong.

Every Beatles record released after this short Almería encounter included printed song lyrics.

What is the title?

I think it is "Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed". I can highly recommend it.

The title, of course, is a reference to "Strawberry Fields".
