I know a Doo-Wop Kareoke DJ who says the same thing. He doesn’t even have the Beatles in his catalog.
I read this book. The title is intentionally misleading. He does not believe that the Beatles destoyed Rock and Roll. He compares the Beatles in their era with Paul Whiteman in his era, who historians say destroyed jazz. When in fact both bands moved music forward.
That’s just a piece. It’s a very good book and a good history of what music historians don’t always talk about.
