I had to watch them (and any other rock act) on the Sullivan show in my parents' room on their small tv - my father wouldn't allow rock music on the TV in the living room.
My mother bought me "Meet the Beatles" but she hid it from my father and I could only play the album during the day when he was at work.
What pissed me off but was also hysterical was several years later --- watching him drumming his fingers and whistling along with Beatles songs that were rearranged for Muzak (elevator music with violins, no vocals) as he drove.
