Why the Beatles rocked

[figmo]

Someone pointed this out to me: One of the Beatles' 1965 concert riders
has been posted on the web. Interesting reading if you want to see how
they wanted to be treated. The most interesting item may be item 5 on this page:

5. Artists will not be requried to perform before a segregated audience.

I always liked the Beatles. Now we know they were a class act even back in the mid-60s.

I've heard several stories from reporters and whatnot that were assigned to cover the Beatles, and who said very similar things. That they'd actually show an interest in social conversation with the press people, asking them questions about what they liked and their family or whatever.
