This photo taken on Sept. 21, 2013, shows residents in Benton, Ill., reading a historical marker honoring late Beatles guitarist George Harrison's visit 50 years earlier to Benton, Ill., where he spent two weeks visiting his sister Louise Harrison. George Harrison's vacation in Illinois made him the first Beatle to come to the United States and was five months before the group's landmark live appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" launched the British invasion. Harrison and the Beatles were virtually unknown in America, explaining why he enjoyed anonymity in 7,000-resident Benton. (AP Photo/Benton Evening News, Mona Sandefur)
