I remember coming home from work and ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And I'm going, what is that? All of a sudden these feminine looking guys with hair over their ears because in those days, even shorter than your hair, you'd see the meat between the ear and the hairline above it. And these guys talk like that and they're small compared to Ed Sullivan and everything. Kind of feminine in a way because Americans were bigger and fatter and stuff. And these guys were all bone thin and spoke strangely. I didn't understand. I was watching and I thought, gee, they look weird. And I remember my coming in and saying, gee, I think they look weird. And Bango. At that moment I said, no, they're cool because my mother thinks they're weird. I've met the biggest stars in the world, especially musicians. They all point to that pivotal moment. Scientists call it a singularity.
