'Good Day Sunshine State'
In 1964, Beatlemania took over the U.S. The Beatles appeared live on the Ed Sullivan Show and embarked on their first tour of North America.
As it turns out, they spent more time in Florida than anywhere else. The band dodged the path of Hurricane Dora to play at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, where they famously refused to perform until the city agreed to integrate the audience.
In his new book "Good Day Sunshine State: How the Beatles Rocked Florida," Florida author Bob Kealing dives into this momentous time and place, exploring the Fab Four’s seismic influence on the people and culture of the Sunshine State.
Guest: Bob Kealing, author.
