Contrast Essay Intro II

I love the Beatles. I remember the first time I became aware of them as a group. It was the famous Ed Sullivan episode and although I only caught a glimpse, I was hooked. My father was flipping through the channels (no remote, he got his exercise from getting up out of the chair) and for a brief moment, the TV landed on Ed Sullivan. I was about ten years old. "What's this junk?" he exclaimed and then changed the channel. But it was enough and I became a fan. Years later, when the group split up and went in different directions, John, Paul and George each wrote songs for the holiday season. Each song incorporates the Christmas holiday season, but with different results. Each song has a different flavor; a different feel. I like them all, but for different reasons.

  1. I really like the hook here--the Ed Sullivan stuff, but the comment I made on the other intro holds here too.
