Distances: 3 miles, 6 miles
So of course Ciwt should have expected it; her whole age group was there at the deYoung Museum today viewing the traveling show of photographs Paul McCartney took on the first Beatles tour.s
There was John backstage nervously checking out his appearance, patting the famous Beatles' mop of hair into place before appearing on the TV variety show that introduced four unknown lads to millions of British viewers. Just a kid from a virtual garage band in 1963. There was no way to anticipate that when he and George and Paul and Ringo walked away from the cameras that night Beatlemania had been triggered.
So young, so unworldly and now suddenly so famous. It still seems unreal, and really Ciwt can't imagine how it must have felt to them. Imagine such an adjustment from kids backstage with supportive family and friends either there or in the audience to the rapturous frenzy of international fame.
Ciwt and her fellow viewers today were lilely all Beatlemaniacs. We were all so innocently carried away by these darling mopheads and their wonderful music. She wonders if any of them flet the tinge of sadness Ciwt did decades later looking at youthful innocence moving into the jaws of fame.
