Alternate History: Islamist Beatles Appear on Ed Sullivan

 

The year is 1964 and the female Islamic Beatles have taken the world by storm. Jira and Pule write the songs, Geerge plays lead guitar and Roinga provides the backbeat.

The news media are initially dismissive: “You can’t tell them apart.”          “Their music sounds like Yoko Ono in a wood chipper”.

Nevertheless Ed Sullivan hires them for three performances and they arrive at New York’s Laguardia Airport amid frenzied screaming by thousands of teenage boys waving prayer rugs and throwing handfuls of sand.

In the photo we see all four Islamic Beatles and Brian Epstein as they begin their landmark news conference within minutes of landing.
