They made us feel good

One more event set up the impact that The Beatles
had on my generation. Though, it's funny, we
don't often associate the two. When I first read
the following, I was shocked to realize it was
true.

But February 9, 1964 was just short of 90 days
after November 23, 1963 -- the assassination of
President John F Kennedy.

The traditional period of mourning is 90 days.
So when The Beatles came, we were through with
mourning and ready for the great gift they
brought.

Simply, the appeal of The Beatles was, they made
us feel good.

Still do.

So good, that almost my entire generation went
apeshit over them.
