Whatcha gonna do, brother?

This Day in History:
1963: The term "Beatlemania" was coined after The Beatles appeared at the Palladium.

We were always partial to Hulkamania, ourselves. We remember jumping up and down on Nana's couch, li'l fat rolls a-jigglin', when the Hulkster stormed into the Garden, "Eye of the Tiger" blasting, and gave the big boot to the diabolical Iron Sheik. This, after he broke free from the dreaded camel clutch. Three seconds later, a legend is born.

We think we sprained an ankle leaping off the top rope (couch) onto the Sheik (the couch pillow) that morning way back in January '84.

The Beatles were cool, too. We guess.
