Fact #98594
When:
Short story:
The Beatles are interviewed for WABC Radio in New York City, USA.
Full article:
Jack E. Pulwers (News Director, WABC Radio] : I had the first and exclusive interviews with The Beatles on their initial trip to the United States. Meeting them at the Plaza Hotel, I turned on the interview tape. The BBC was receiving the interview as we proceeded and ABC went live part of the way, as well as the New York station WABC on radio.
First, there was Ringo. He was a "jolly good" kidder, and we roared with laughter as he poked fun at Paul McCartney and George Harrison, whom he said always "knocked heads together and got tangled up in their mike wires." The drummer laughed and told me he "would try to 'drum' something up to say later."
John Lennon was the most somber of the four. He rarely cracked a smile and didn't look straight into your face, but would sort of turn away, as if he were thinking rather deeply. George was in good humour, as was Paul. George, who did most of the talking, told the story of how they got started in the music business by singing in the pubs. Both Paul and George spoke about how they wanted to see the American West, the mountains, an Indian or two. Then my time was done.
I was "Beatled' out after three hours with the world's most popular entertainers. The next day they were off to the CBS Ed Sullivan Show. But for 24 hours we at ABC ruled the roost and I had the news scoop of the decade, and knew it, too.
