Darn this came a minute after I sent out the newsletter:

# 616: BEATLEMANIA! TWO PROGRAMS, ONE-WAY TICKET, YEAH!
TERRI HEMMERT: Beatles ’68
In June, 1967, the Beatles performed “All You Need is Love” live to a world
audience; 17 months later, the White Album ushered in “Revolution” and “Helter
Skelter.” How did the global events of 1968 affect the Beatles musically and
personally? Hemmert, the popular WXRT radio personality and host of “Breakfast
With the Beatles,” shares her knowledge of the Fabs.
GLENN GASS: High Art on the Pop Charts
The scope and creative integrity of the Beatles’ music make it one of the
world’s greatest artistic legacies. This Indiana Univ. School of Music
professor, who developed one of the country’s earliest college courses on rock
music, celebrates the short, wondrous time when boundaries between art and
entertainment evaporated and the most adventurous music was also the most popular.

NOTE: tickets for these CHF events are usually 5 or 6 dollars, but free to all
students and faculty with ID; but I was unable to buy tickets on line for this
event because the ticket button did not work, it is NOT listed with the sold out
events, and no one answered the ticket info phone number. Terri responded with
an email that said just show up.
