Roger McGuinn vividly remembers the days when his Los Angeles-based quintet the Byrds were enjoying a burst of creativity high atop the psychedelic folk/rock scene in the mid-1960s — a time that often involved dashing past mobs of howling admirers chasing after them as they rushed out of concert halls to the refuge of an awaiting car.
He likens that frenzied era to the first worldwide rush of Beatlemania depicted in the 1964 film "A Hard Day's Night," an exhilarating study of 36 hours in the lives of the Fab Four.
"There were times when I got tackled running from the venue to the limousine," says McGuinn, who'll be in town for a solo performance at the Academy of Fine Arts this Friday.
