It still boggles the mind that any band could ever have been that good and that consistently revolutionary. The sum of the Beatles was so far, far greater than its parts that the word magic fails to do them justice. Timothy Leary confidently proclaimed that The Beatles were mutants -- "prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God" & so on. I've always thought he might have been on to something there. They were just so freaking good and so much FUN that there had to have been something cosmic at work.Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-22437314224492139732014-02-09T07:55:17.023-05:002014-02-09T07:55:17.023-05:00Yeah, my favorite musical acts are U2 and Bruce Sp...Yeah, my favorite musical acts are U2 and Bruce Springsteen. But when I did my first movie review on my blog over 6 years ago now, a review of Across the Universe, I began with these words: "If you are not of the belief that the Beatles are the greatest and most important band in the history of rock and roll, then you are wrong."Erik Beckhttp://nighthawknews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
