Great insight into the mentality and social conventions of the era - here, in Australia, we weren't any better! Monkey dancing to pop music is exactly what an uptight society needs in order to let go.
Great backstory details & look forward to the 3rd installment! A few of my English students in Tokyo had attended one the concerts. Another one said, "I could hear the Beatles from my college dorm room in Suidobashi while I was studying. The sound was very big." When I then asked her if she had tried to get a ticket, she replied, "Oh no. I wasn't that type of girl." Her not going on to say that her thinking later changed, I was left to wonder if perhaps her mind still contained some of the poison that some media outlets -- or more likely her conservative & fearful parents -- had instilled.
