Pop Apocalypse

A well-done hour-long radio documentary about the Beatles' American invasion in February 1964 can be found at WFUV 90.7 FM Public Radio. Click on Archives (on the main page) and then "Words and Music from Studio A."

"They came to bring us back to life! Out of the old nightmare, Dallas, Oswald, Ruby, cops, reporters, thru-ways, lies, crises, missiles, heroes, cameras, fear -- all that mishmash, and all of it dead. Look at you. They've brought you back to life. I couldn't -- not after November. Nothing could."
--Robert Hemenway (from the short story "The Girl Who Sang With the Beatles")
