Like so many people of my era, seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time [on February 9, 1964] was life-changing. It was when I heard She Loves You for the first time! They were clearly phenomenal creators and performers, but it also made me think, I could do this too, this is possible. I knew I was never gonna be Elvis Presley, just like I was never gonna be Prince, but The Beatles looked to me like regular guys, like I was.
