1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam Nation Well sixty years ago. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: This month, a twelve year old fan of the Beatles, 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: her name is Carol Dryden, attempted to mail herself to 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: the band. So she had her best friend pack her 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: into a tea chest and close it up. Her friend 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: paid the freight charges of what was then eight pounds 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: and handed the box off to be transported the four 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty kilometers from Sunderland to London by train. 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: That's further than say, Sydney to Canberra. She lined the 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: chest with blankets and she brought a flask for the 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: long ride. But she did all this planning but forgot 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: to put air holes in the chest. So luckily for her, 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: she was still at the home station in Sunderland when 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: she ran out of air and she started to overheat. 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: She attempted to remove her jumper, hoping we'll relieve some 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: of the discomfort, and the box started to move around 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: a bit, which caught the eye. Luckily of a nearby 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: porter you discovered her inside. She would have had only 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: half an hour left before she would have dined it. 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: The following day, she explained in an interview, I hadn't 21 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: thought about fresh air or food. All I want was 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: to see the beetles. I don't know what I would 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: have done it I really arrived at their doorstep. I 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: suppose I'd have fainted. Her mother said she's a great 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: beetle fan. The last time that they were here, she said, 26 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: we paid fifteen shillings which is two dollars and ten 27 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: cents to get Carol a ticket. She enjoyed them and 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: got annoyed with the police when they wouldn't let her 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: approach for an autograph. So she sounds like she's a 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: determined young lady. You know, it's interesting you don't see 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: people going to these links anymore. Used to hear people 32 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: girls dressing up as room service delivery people for the 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: rolling Stones or whatever. But I guess you don't have 34 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: to do that to get close to the stars anymore 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: because you can have access to their lives and what 36 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: they're doing and all of that through social media. Straight in, 37 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: slide into the DN, slide into the DMS. You don't 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: have to get into a tea chest anymore to slide 39 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: into the DN. That's the Harry styles. He's not getting 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: someone's mailing themselves in a tea chest. You just can't 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: consulet him. Oh, Harry, I like that you dressed like 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: my grandma. Yeah, right on, And he said thank you 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: for your interest. I remember when I went to see 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: Barry Manilow the first time he came to Australia, and 45 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: I was a working woman. I was in my you know, 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: I would have been over twenty. I remember clinging to 47 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: the what's it called the wire stuff. We could se 48 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: him getting into the torrago downstairs as he was living 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: the entertainment center. We're clinging to the wire, hoping you 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: just look up and see us. I was in my twins. 51 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: I was probably twenty two. So when you say, as 52 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: was it just you me and Melanie? So YouTube would 53 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: just clean cyclone fence? Yeah? Cyclones? Yeah. And these days, 54 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: I mean sure, if you put yourself in a teacher 55 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: to go, oh how nice, it might be some crockery 56 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: in here. You're gon smug with you. You're smug with 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: yourself and he schnors no need for that. I didn't 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: want to blow it. Hey, you hate a part, and 59 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You know, nineteen years you're gonna have to 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: get used to and enjoy them. But I just can't 61 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: be fake. I saw a story recently about the girl 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: who won the International pun Competition. Yes, there is such 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: a thing, and she's parlated into a career as a 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: songwriter and she's brilliant. There's a big future in puns, Brandon, 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: get used to it. It's my next thing, that's my 66 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: new thing.
