You know, if you're our age, you love the Beatles.

And I remember when the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl came out, George Martin, who had done the producing of it, their longtime producer, was, they were liner notes.

And he wrote in the liner notes that he'd had an exchange with his nine-year-old daughter, Lucy.

This is 1977.

And Lucy said, asked about the Beatles, Dad, were they as great as the Bay City Rollers?

To which George Martin claims he replied, probably not.

My point is that even back in 1977, kids today didn't know much about the Beatles.

But for us and for my colleague, Paul Wilkie, who's going to join us now to play some Beatles trivia, the Beatles are everything.

And they continue to be.

The Rolling Stones may have called themselves the greatest rock and roll band of all time, but they weren't.

The Beatles were.

And I have lots of friends like you who say, oh, I know so much about the Beatles.

But we're going to test it now with two of you.

Yes, it's true.

In 1991.

It's true.

All right.

Paul, you see what you're up against.

Paul Wilkie is my colleague here, helps produce the show with other colleagues.

And I'm just going to ask some questions.
