Ticket to Ride: Inside the Beatles’ 1964 Tour That Changed the World

While there have been a number of books written about the Liverpool band that lead the “British invasion” in the 1960s and the astounding Beatlemania that lives on today, Kane’s offers an intimate eyewitness account of the group’s North American tours in 1964 and 1965. With a foreword by Dick Clark, this book is the real deal. Kane relates his travels as a journalist with the supergroup, offering the good times and the bad as he slumped alongside the boys from venue to airport to venue. With perfect pitch and tone, Kane reads like the steadfast news anchor that he is now. The enticing and intimate stories that Kane provides are the real stars, offering lifelong fans a slightly different view of their heroes. A Penguin paperback (Reviews, May 26, 2003). (Sept.)
