Two weeks before the group arrived at the JFK International Airport 2.6 million copies of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" sold to the American public. Around three thousand fans met the Beatles at the airport that day and in the start of what is known as the "British Invasion." From that moment on the Beatles placed a monopoly on rock music around the world and continue to be an influential and popular band in today's generations. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Film footage from the Beatles arrival at the JFK International Airport </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://1.gvt0.com/vi/4ZiYzze6qwE/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ZiYzze6qwE&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ZiYzze6qwE&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For more information on the Beatles and their rad music check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> , or <a href="http://www.thebeatles.com/" target="_blank">TheBeatles.com</a> . </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7418583892984379785-277456975368395348?l=picturehistory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Goochinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13265322533492149909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418583892984379785.post-47953645136056434342012-01-31T16:23:00.000-08:002012-01-31T16:33:07.166-08:00Today in HistoryI thought this would be appropriate for of the Anonymous fans out there. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iQfsr-x-lUA/TyiFIPA4WOI/AAAAAAAAACA/i_X6ENHQndU/s1600/Guy_Fawkes_portrait.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" sda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iQfsr-x-lUA/TyiFIPA4WOI/AAAAAAAAACA/i_X6ENHQndU/s320/Guy_Fawkes_portrait.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />Today in History: January 31, 1606, Guy Fawkes was hanged, drawn an quartered for his attempt at blowing up Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot. <br /><br />Thanks <a href="http://www.historynet.com/today-in-history/january-31" target="_blank">HistoryNet</a> !<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7418583892984379785-4795364513605643434?l=picturehistory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Goochinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13265322533492149909noreply@blogger.com0
