A hard day's day for "A Hard Day's Night"

I never really realized it, but I guess I was lucky I didn't see "A Hard Day's Night" the day it opened at our local theater in Waltham, Mass. We were supposed to get there, but my mom decided to take me shopping and I missed going to the show with my friend. I was devastated, but it turned out to be a good thing. The first day crowd couldn't hear a thing since the crowd was screaming so much, especially during Paul's scenes.

And being a suburban American kid, it took me a few years to realize what the Fabs were saying. Lennon holding a coke bottle to his nose? What a jokester. Little did I know...
