	Remembering the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
		Ed Sullivan was a one-man cable television system with wrestling, BRAVO and comedy channels, Broadway, Hollywood and C-SPAN, sports and music video.
		Legend has it that, on a trip to England a few months earlier, Ed saw the commotion the Beatles were causing and thought he'd book the lads on his show as a novelty act—until their manager, Brian Epstein, insisted on top billing.
		(Ed frequently praised them, in his introductions, as "fine youngsters.") Their sexuality had an androgynous element—that long hair and such pretty faces (except Ringo, the funny mascot of the group).

		While not the most refined TV host around, one thing Ed knew was how to capture an all-ages audience, and this owed in great part to his ability to stay on top of the latest and hottest bands.
		Sullivan was the first to introduce American television to The Beatles, and people still talk today about appearances by The Doors, Elvis, and the Stones.
		It's a rare opportunity to hear from Sullivan in a more relaxed environment, so it's noteworthy in that regard, even though almost half of the relatively brief interview is with Sylvia, who has little to say.
