Roger McGuinn (The Byrds] : The first time I heard The Beatles I was living in the Earl Hotel on Washington Square Park [in New York City]. I was scuffling. I had just stopped working for Bobby Darin's publishing company and started working in little coffee houses for a living.

I saw a clip of The Beatles on television, the one Brian Epstein had sent over, with the screaming girls going after them and everything. I guess this was just as I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You were released. I loved that stuff and I went out and bought the album, took it back to my apartment and learned all the songs.
