Fab Four, Forty Years Ago

It was 40 years ago this week that Beatlemania began in the United States. On Feb. 7, 1964, the Fab Four arrived at JFK Airport in New York, met by 3,000 screaming fans. In commemoration of this cultural milestone we're joined by Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis and Irish playwright and musician Larry Kirwan. We also take listener calls, inviting you to share your memories of the Beatles and your reflections on their legacy. We also invite you to e-mail us at soundcheck@wnyc.org.
