>>i guess you had to grow up in the ‘60s and ‘70s to appreciate the impact of The Beatles and their solo careers. it was well beyond the individual songs.<<
I did.
Every generation has it’s “great” artists.
People swooned over Sinatra, Elvis, hell even Al Jolson.
The Beatles are no different. When this generation dies out, Lennon falls on the ash heep.
i agree with you completely.
