Talk about conflicted emotions. I had four of these. Then my grandfather, who I loved very much and had stayed with nights to care for, had died. His funeral was scheduled for Sept. 11, 1964! (note date on tickets I had)

Rain or shine, it should have said or hurricane, which is what occurred.  Otherwise my father had planned to surprise me and fly me down..

The next year they came to Fulton Stadium in Atlanta. Tickets sold out before South Georgians got a chance.

We were told a story we are unable to check, but pass on since it is so great a story, true or not.

It is said… an Atlanta policeman went to the locker room of the Atlanta Stadium just before show time and caught one George Harrison partaking of a magic cigarette. The officer was sticking to the book and arresting him. Big hubub. Brian Epstein offering anything to just forget it all. Head officer comes and says, “Listen to that crowd! If these guys don’t go on, there will be a riot and a lot of little girls going home with broken hearts today. Can we come to a better agreement than creating a broken hearts club, Sgt. Pepper?”

Sgt. Pepper got the message and tore up the citation. Good story whatever.
