Plus “In My Life”,
Whenever we see the Beatles, or tributes to them; the audience spans all age groups, from eight years to eighty.
These songs are as close to eternity as we will get.

Considering the pressure of celebrity idolatry/mega-stardom, that hadn't been seen since that and Frank Sinatra before Elvis, it's a wonder they lasted as long as they did. Add to that the push-pull between art and money. It wasn't all roses.

In the whirlwind madness of the time and era, and having indulged mySELF in pseudo intelligent loquacity, AND, being somewhat aware of the idiosyncrasies of the famous ... We ALL were a little taken with ourselves.
The 60's birthed the 70's and the 70's were a crash from a serious high.
We were supposed to fix things, not invent disco.
bad drug things started in the 70's.

Paul McCartney was the genius as evidenced by the success of the Wings. Millions of 12-15 year old girls would agree with you. Serious people with good taste in music would not.

Also said Bush was ‘illiterate’ (not a big Bush fan, myself).......but McCartney can’t read music. Huge projection and insecurity on his part.

Amazing to me that there are all sorts of songs written thst were hits by others, but not recorded by the Beatles.

And I always use that exampl e when talking witth people about the dangers of Socialism.
‘There’s one for you, nineteen for me’.....in the 60’s, the wealthy in Britain were taxed at a 95% rate.

I went to Desert Trip II, three nights: Dylan-Stones, Neil Young-Paul McCartney, Who-Roger Waters.
I am not a big Beatles fan, but respect what they did for music. Paul McCartney's performance was enjoyable and a nostalgic trip back in time. He impressed me as a genuinely nice person, who plays bland, yet popular music.
Lennon gave the Beatles music an edge that McCartney lacks.

We went to concert with a Beatles cover band last summer. They weren’t great but weren’t bad. Lots of young people there, including my sons and daughter in law. All the kids knew the songs. Daughter in law asked me my favorite songs. I said there is one for each era of the Beatles anthology:
Early: I Saw Her Standing There
Mid: Ticket to Ride
Late: Dear Prudence

Taxman, George Harrison.
Paul and John fought in my opinion, like a married couple.
The were very close for years and it was bound to erupt on occasions.
John got all involved with liberal politics, he was a dupe.
