- The British Invasion is the story of American music going across the Atlantic and coming back transformed, and for a lot of white Americans, the Beatles were the first time they heard Muddy Waters' influence, even if they didn't know it yet. I start with **Skiffle**, which is where Paul and John first heard each other play (over a shared love of Lonnie Donegan), and trace the band through Hamburg's cockroach-infested stages to Ed Sullivan. The second half covers what happens after the cultural earthquake, psychedelia, the studio-as-instrument era, and how the Beatles kept pushing while contemporaries tried to repeat what had already worked. They were always on the vanguard.
