Was the only newsman to travel with
The Beatles during their first American
tour, in 1964-1965. Although considered somewhat of a "square", Kane
was as young as they were, and was taken under their wing as a friend.
He has published a book about his adventure with them, called, "Ticket
to Ride", and one about his friendship with
John Lennon, "Lennon Revealed".
John Lennon once made a surprise visit to anchorman Kane's Philadelphia
news broadcast and did an impromptu weather report on the air!
