Beatlemania didn’t just mean selling out concerts or making number-one records or girls screaming or boys wearing their hair long. The Beatles belonged to kids of the sixties the same way Frank Sinatra belonged to their parents.

In 1964, the Beatles made their first movie, A Hard Day’s Night. A lot of the action in the movie showed the band running away from fans. It was a big hit.

By now, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were no longer four guys from Liverpool. They were “the Fab Four,” even bigger than Elvis. They were still young and inexperienced, though, and sometimes made mistakes. John once told a reporter that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus right now.” Many people were deeply offended. Some radio stations held protests with big bonfires. People were invited to throw Beatles albums into the flames. John quickly apologized. But the experience changed the band. They had to watch what they said and how they behaved. Being the Fab Four didn’t seem as fab anymore.
