Sonny Liston made that comment. From http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/02/beatles-met-muhammad-ali/

Now they were in Florida, soaking up the sun and relaxing after a second Ed Sullivan show appearance. The boys requested to meet the world heavyweight champ- the surly, misanthropic Sonny Liston. But Liston quickly replied that he had no desire to meet “those bums.”

Interestingly, Liston was in the crowd watching their second Ed Sullivan appearance on Feb. 16th. Nevertheless, he was not exactly a “fan” calling them “sissies” and saying, “My dog can play drums better than that guy”- referring to Ringo.

Cool! Greg does great work.

Country Paul:

May I make a minor correction: according to both bios I've read, it was Jan who originally did everything for Jan & Dean, then Jan & Arnie, then Jan & Dean - until the car crash. Afterward, it was Dean, the lesser singer, who kept things going with the help of a lot of LA surf music folks, because Jan could no longer handle the pressure. Jan still composed, but had a physically hard time of life, being partly paralyzed. Other than that fact check, it was a great show - I heard about an hour in and out of it. Some great discoveries: The Dahlmanns and The Explorers' Club for two. I also really like the James Hand track - nice find! Keep up the great work!

"Keep jiggling, Peggy!":

The cartoon voice of Josie of the Pussycats whose theme you played died yesterday.

Janet Waldo also voiced Judy Jetson and Penelope Pitstop. On "I Love Lucy" she played the infatuated teen Ricky Ricardo discourages by disguising himself as much older, asking her to keep jiggling his legs for circulation . . . She is survived by her older sister, Elisabeth, whose "Chant to the Sun" became well-known to early New York FM rock listeners as Alison Steele's theme.
