Bob4Bills Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 For the young wallers here, February '64 saw the nation still in a deep state of grief over the murder of our young President just a couple months before. But on this day (a Sunday), with most of the nation at home and in front of their TV's, ED Sullivan screamed the introduction 'heard round the world', "Ladies and Gentlemen, THE BEATLES!!" Music, and lifestyle for that matter, would never be the same. Two weeks later, in Miami, a young Olympian from Louisville, Ky, slated as a 10-1 underdog, KNOCKED OUT Sonny Liston to win the Heavyweight championship of the world.. some fella named Cassius.. The Buffalo Bills announced a minor uniform change, dismissing shoulder stripes for sleeve stripes. What did they do with their new look? 10 months later, they delivered to the city of Buffalo it's first ever professional football league CHAMPIONSHIP!! THOSE were indeed 'HIGH TIMES!' Chime in, older wallers! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in VA Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I remember it well. I used to listen to the Beet-els on my brand new, state-of-the- art TRANSISTOR RADIO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF_in_Indiana Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 1964 was a very important year in American history. Actually just about every year in the '60's was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
