I hear you, and you've got a point, too. But consider that much of the Beatles' early pap was a product of Brian Epstein's successful attempt to clean the band up and market it to a broader audience. Before Epstein came along, there were no Edwardian suits . . . no Love Me Dos. The Beatles were a leather-wearing, falling off the stage drunk rock-and-roll band. Lennon even once wore a toilet seat around his neck on stage.
Once the Beatles made a conscious effort to be artists rather than entertainers, they shucked most of the schlock.
I think what gets my goat the most is, that in Junior High (oh, those many years ago) our Music Teacher decided that a whole semester geared towards the Beatles (including two weeks, with tests) on the whole "Paul is Dead" crap, was a good thing.
Some people just take stuff waaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously, and make entire mountain ranges out of one little hill. Sigh.
