I was just a tyke but the assassination is one of my earliest memories. My sister and I wondered why our afternoon television shows weren't on. Our Mom explained it to us in a simple way and we felt sad because she told us he had two children right around our age. The assassination did change the way people got their news, accelerating a process that was already underway. Cronkite talked about how radio and newspaper reporters looked down their noses at the medium in the early days. The nightly news didn't even get a half hour slot initially. As for the connection between the assassination and Beatlemania, that is a reach. Kids all across Europe were already going crazy and mass hysteria has a way of being contagious. Elvis really paved the way for the Beatles. He was the first one to really get the teenage girls screaming and the teenage boys to dress like him and take up the guitar. There would have been no Beatles if there hadn't been an Elvis, a white guy who could give black rhythm and blues and rockabilly crossover appeal. As for that Huntley Brinkley newscast, Ed Sullivan was livid when they ran video footage of the band. He was under the impression he had exclusive rights to any TV coverage and he felt NBC scooped him in an unethical manner bordering on infringement. He was especially irked about what the reporters had to say about the Beatles. Edwin Newman, the reporter responsible for the piece, slammed them, saying stuff like: "It's anybody's guess why the Beatles emerged from cellar nightclubs to national prominence" and "One reason for the Beatles popularity could be that it is almost impossible to hear them. The London times has carried the sobering report that the Beatles may bring the Mersey Sound to the United States, to which it may be rejoined, show us no Mersey". He then went on to say: "Robert Percival, an artist, proposes to capture the Mersey Sound on canvass, Percival, mercifully, is deaf." Huntley piled on, closing the news broadcast with: "So anyone looking for some mute and glorious Milton will just have to keep on looking." Not exactly the kind of press Sullivan was hoping the band would receive prior to his upcoming show. Fortunately for Ed, it came from Huntley and Brinkley. If Cronkite had slammed em it would have been a bigger story and who knows, Nixon may have even put them on his enemies list sooner than he did. At a minimum, Hoover's antennae would have been raised and he may have done a deep dive into their Hamburg past and the Bohemian friends they made along the way. He was the protector of all that was good and righteous after all, that is when he wasn't cross dressing for Clyde. Ah, the good old days. The don't make em like J. Edgar anymore.
You're wrong about The Beatles/JFK assassination connection. I remember it. I was eleven. There was an extremely letdown feeling, because Kennedy was an extraordinarily charismatic and, for that matter, entertaining figure. Beatlemania would have happened anyway, but I do think that vacuum - like quality didn't hurt. What's hilarious is that The Beatles themselves, who were in Amsterdam or Brussels, I can't remember which, that Friday, were terrified that the assassination had wrecked their chances in the United States. All air traffic in Europe was grounded that weekend, and The Beatles, having nothing else to do, spent the weekend at their airport hotel, getting so drunk they wandered onto the runway and collapsed.
@@bobtaylor170 They certainly helped cheer the country up. My point was even if the assassination hadn't taken place the Beatles still would have been a huge hit. In that sense, one thing had nothing to do with the other. They were coming and as you would know better than I would, the music industry, especially in America was ready for the next big thing. That's where I disagree with the video. Motown was great, I grew up listening to it in Detroit, but in many ways it was regional. The Beatles actually helped Motown increase in popularity since they were covering their songs. The Beatles loved Motown. Johnny Cash was leaning country by that time. He still had crossover hits but the rockabilly thing had run its course by 64. It's My Party and My Boyfriend's Back weren't exactly rock standards. I don't know, maybe you were a Beach Boy fan but I never was. Groups like them, Jan and Dean and the like were also niche. Like I say, you were there. The Beatles hit like a tsunami. The country was still grief stricken but I think the reaction to the Beatles was still going to be just as big. That was the point I was making. You're a couple years older than me so I will defer but you gotta admit, they were unlike anything that came before them and they gave rock music the kick in the ass it needed. There hadn't been anything like them since Elvis and by that time Elvis had let the Colonel take him down the movie route, where he played Elvis over, and over, and over again. That's too bad. Elvis always wanted to be a serious actor, he just never got the chance after his stint in the Army. That's an interesting fact about the Beatles and the airport. I'd never heard that before. They were not the clean-cut type Brian tried to make them out to be that's for sure. Jimmy Nichol, the guy who sat in for Ringo for a bit of their world tour said no one could out drink or out **** the Beatles, and he had worked with a lot of bands.
@@itinerantpatriot1196 sure, I'm not saying there wasn't a bit of a vacuum in kid's music, too, for lack of a better way to put it. Probably the most accurate way to say it is that if conditions weren't already favorable enough for The Beatles to make it here, the mournfulness still hanging over the country a month after Kennedy's assassination, as awful as it is for me to say it, made circumstances even better for them. It's interesting to try to imagine what pop music would have been like if there had been no Beatles. Would some combination of Motown, Jobim, Bachrach, Dylan, and a lot of guys who wrote for Broadway instead of becoming rock musicians have been The Thing? Consider the musical bankruptcy of our current time. We're waiting for new Beatles and I'm not expecting any.
I think the assassination both delayed and heightened the Beatles introduction to the US. There were two other factors that happened around the time of the Beatles' Sullivan appearance that give credence to the theory that something was going on (likely related to the assassination, the end of the official period of mourning and people getting back to normal) Two episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies aired that are still among the highest rated half hour episodes of all time and, I have no proof but heard, that on the night of the Beatles' Sullivan appearance that it was one of the coldest winters in years through much of the US. People were staying home and not going out.
FDR was the first “radio President”. JFK was the first “TV President”. Obama was the first “Social Media President”. All three took existing media and changed the way it was used in politics. Thank you for this interesting video.
In the novel the Odessa File, the death of one of the characters is ignored because the character died on the same day Kennedy was shot. It’s interesting because the death happens in Germany, yet JFK still dominated the press there. The author of that book really helped me understand how much of a world news event the assassination was.
Beatles cheering up Americans after the asassination of JFK and on the other side, their music went into Iron Curtain and make the young Soviets feel in love with freedom and Western world. Beatlemania is no joke
Of course those of us that watched Red Dwarf know that Kennedy was the second shooter, brought back from an alternate timeline to save his reputation and America.
Time traveler arrives at CIA headquarters, doesn't know what time he arrived. He asks an employee, "did I arrive before or after President Kennedy's assassination?" Employee responds, "Oh, before."
The Beatles' conquest of America would have happened even if JFK had not been assassinated. They were the right band, with the right looks and sound, at the right time and could not be denied. Transistor radios were ubiquitous and television was rapidly penetrating the home market. The Baby Boomers were at the right age (with disposable income) to embrace The Beatles and make them a cultural phenomenon. Remarkably, three of the most iconic things from the 1960s are JFK, The Beatles, and Star Trek. They are still widely popular in our culture 6 decades after their introduction. It is too bad Roddenberry didn't get the opportunity to have the Enterprise go back to 1963 and have Kirk and Spock meet JFK. That would have been one wild and crazy movie plot.
Star trek doing the Kennedy assassination and having spock as the shooter is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard and still better than Star Trek V
The Big Dog may know history, but he doesn't know American pop cultural history of the rock and roll period ( b. 1956 ) well. In fact, by late 1960, rock and roll was thought to have been a fad which had exhausted itself. Take a look at the "record charts" between 1960 - 1963. There was all sorts of interesting stuff. He's right on target in mentioning Motown, but Motown was not rock and roll. One of the things which shocked people about The Beatles was that everyone had thought rock was dead, and there came these four extremely engaging English guys who proved them very wrong. You can't anticipate genius.
The Beatles didn't save rock and roll in the U.S., but gave it a much-needed boost, which didn't have a transformative artist since Elvis was drafted into the Army. Unfortunately Americans were not yet ready for black artists to fill the void, and groups such as the Beach Boys would not become firmly established until several years later. The JFK assassination, in a tragic way, opened the door for the Beatles to come in and give American audiences something more positive on which to focus.
I saw a UA-cam video a few years ago that played clips of each number one hit during the 1960s. The difference in style before and after the first Beatles number one hit was enormous.
I hate to make an official complaint but you forgot to mention the BBC TV series Red Dwarf, where to put the timeline right, President Kennedy has to shoot himself from the Grassy Knoll.

Beatles the greatest of all time with or without JFK.
I was in the back hall of my high school flirting with a girl named Paulette Cobler when I heard that JFK had been shot. The only reason that I remember her name is the coincidence of the assassination.
One of my biggest concerns about conspiracy theories and the Trump phenomenon is the sheer level of disenfranchisement in the US. People are voting in total opposition to their own interests (or fooling themselves that they're not) just to get back at the establishment.
The number 1 song that week was Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett by the way. For a month or two during the winter of ‘63-‘64 the Dave Clark Five and the Beatles were pretty much running even. Early British Invasion? I still automatically go to the DC5.
I thought The Beatles’ tour of America was mostly remembered for some outrageous remarks by John Lennon on Elvis Presley (“He’s beginning to sound more like Bing Crosby”) and for him comparing The Beatles to Jesus.
This was a really weird stretch, to go on irrelevantly about the Beatles so much. I thought you’d mention the social paranoia, the conspiracy theory novels etc. But then realised they’d been current in America since the 50s 😬
So many tv shows i grew up with watching had something to do with Kennedy’s assassination: The New Twilight Zone, Dark Skies. Spock shooting Kennedy? Was Roddenberry a Republican, or what? 😁
Several things i wish would be covered about the effects of the JFK assisnation. 1) how would the counterculture would have been affected by JFK assisantion and taking a alt history route would it have existed with a JFK assisination? 2) how would vietnam have been affected if JFK was not assisnated.
I find it a little annoying that people somehow get all butterfly effect to describe the consequences of things they find important, letting sampling/confirmation bias run wild. You end up with a very culture-centric history that sounds very out of place internationally.
I’m very curious how the Cold War would of played out if JFK didn’t get shot, I’d like to believe we’d be in a more balanced peaceful world with Soviets/Russia.
