this is STW, of course it’s worth arguing about
we’ve been here before, more than once
The Beatles are a “red flag” – same as Macs, iphone, coffee, immigrants, muslims and all the rest
I think the problem with the whole Beatles thing is that a lot of people are happy to think of them as “Just a band”, and have an opinion on whether they like them or not based on that. (which is fine)
Other people like to think about them in context of all the cultural and musical changes that were taking place in the 60s – and then they become a lot more than “just a band”. I love the music, but I’m also fascinated by the story of the Beatles.
I’ve said this on here before – but if you are a music geek you can have a very interesting time with a stack of Beatles CDs and the book “Revolution in the Head”.
