Well SOMEONE wasn’t a fan of the Fabs, was he? From what I can gather about Paul Jones, he was 67 when he wrote this (and died in 1974 just a few days before Ed Sullivan did), and I would boldly assume he was not exactly JPG&R’s target demographic. I feel like he wasn’t Sullivan’s target demographic in general either, for that matter… Wonder what Paul made of Elvis on the Sullivan show a mere eight years earlier when he was only 59? What about the black artists Sullivan insisted on supporting? Why do I feel like he’d only just got used to jazz being a thing and rock’n’roll was just too much for him to cope with? As for the vast millions, well, nearly seventy-four million people apparently watched that episode, and I presume at least a few of them enjoyed it more than Paul did…
