some

thing to you when you were a kid because I understand you watched The Ed Sullivan Show, that's right, let me see if there were any, I mean, I remember one when I was a kid, are there any performances that really stand out? of the Beatles.

Oh, the Beatles came around the Beatles, that was the biggest thing. Wow and I actually didn't like the Ed Sullivan Show because I knew I had to go to bed afterwards, so I hope you do.

How was that? I mean, it was amazing, he was such a charmer, he went to South Africa and my wife and I got it. I had breakfast with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and I had lunch with Nelson Mandela, so he met me and my wife and he immediately says to her oh I see why he is the success he is because of you, it was all because of her and her he says and of course, I'm like an operator, yeah, I'm like dude, I'm like, okay.
