50 years ago: Beatles MBE interview

After the news broke that the four Beatles were going to be awarded as Members of the British Empire in October of 1965, a press conference was thrown together so that the Beatles could be photographed and interviewed about it all.

However, John overslept and things did not run on time.  Alf Bicknell had to go out to Kenwood and fetch John out of bed and he must not have even bothered to brush his moptop, because he had a bad case of "bedhead" going on during the interview.
John are you awake?   John and Cyn make it to the interview

Honored by their country and decorated by their queen....


Have I posted this one before?    Oh well....if I have then you get it again.   The Beatles had just been awarded the M.B.E. by the queen at the palace in London.    And then they were back in the car and into the reality of their life, which is that the fans don't care if you just won a big deal award from the queen...it isn't going to stop Beatlemania.
