The Beatles - Who was with it and who wasn't

Young women hiked up their skirts as high as they could go and traded in the bouffant beehive hair-do for the mod' look, inspired by British fashion queen Mary Quant. Brylcreemed short-back-and sides hair, shapeless sports coat and grey strides were the last things the male mod would be seen wearing. There was longer hair for men, and black velvet jackets, brown corduroy trousers and Chelsea boots were popping up in trendy Auckland shops. Television began broadcasts in 1960. The world crowded into more and more New Zealand lounges. In 1961 there were fewer than 5000 TV licences; two years later there were over 80 000. The sole channel broadcast for just 50 hours a week in the mid-1960s, and much of the fare was pretty staid', but novelty value was high. The box' introduced many older New Zealanders to the Beatles when a TV special about the band was shown just weeks before the tour.

People that hated the Beatles were against them because They hated the fact that The Beatles preached about peace and love but they were so violent on the other side of production. Most people found it weird and unnormal
