"When The Beatles made their first public appearance in Washington in 1964, they stayed in the luxurious accommodations of the Shoreham Hotel. An entire floor was reserved for them with the exception of one room where the guests refused to relocate. It's said the General Manager, Phil Hollywood, had to cut off the electricity, heating, and water service, claiming there was a power failure, before they agreed to move to a room on another floor."
According to Pop History dot com. "After their live D.C. the performance, the group attended a masked ball at the city's British Embassy. Reportedly, British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home decided not to attend for fear of being upstaged by the group. During the party, an unidentified woman cut off a lock of Ringo's hair without asking him. The Beatles stayed at the embassy party for a time and then returned to their rooms at the Shoreham Hotel."

AC DC or The Beatles?
AC/DC, Of Course ! OOoOooOOOOOHHH NOOO!!!! "without The Beatles, AC/DC would not exist, being that "The Beatles" -like Bob Dylan, influenced every artist and/or band that followed them" Oh and if you look into it, The Beatles had more #1 hits and Top 40 Records than any other band except for Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones. THE BEATLES WILL LIVE FOREVER!
