TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: 6/14

She's got a Ticket to Ride: as luggage

Today, in 1964, a group of railway workers stumbled upon something very curious on the station platform...

...a tea chest carrying more than the typical contents. Instead, a 12-year-old girl named Carol Dryden was crammed into the chest, which donned a label addressed to The Beatles.

Here's some live footage of The Beatles performing "Ticket to Ride."  You can get a fairly good idea of the hysteria they instilled in young girls, and maybe understand with greater ease why little Carol wedged herself into luggage to be with the icons. :
