Sir Paul, join Ringo and Yoko to honor John and George

What's the best way to organize a Beatles reunion?

Two more bullets. ;~D

Why did Yoko Ono just have to move out of NYC?

She found a dead Beatle on the doorstep. ;~D

 

Sorry, couldn't resist!   Actually, I hope this proves to be a great time for Beatles fans young and old.

 

 

Meh, the Beatles never really did it for me.

And blues and jazz musicians were laying track on track on track years before the Beatles.

groan!!!!!!!1



tis wonderful just to see your name ted.

tis ok if you do not like the Beatles.

about the track on track with jazz... proof please!

Sometimes I like the Beattles, but most of the time I don't. Some of their music is good, but they're currently behind the times. I mean, c'mon. Keep up guys.

there are no Beatles to "keep up" they broke up in 1971 or 1973 I forget which year, John was Murdered and there went the man that wrote the lyrics, Paul and Yoko hate each other. George went all mystical and died from cancer not that long ago,
leaving Paul and Ringo. Paul has had a stellar career making much music on his own, Ringo has gotten by, he is not very talented, but manages to get along ok. Yoko Is an artist [painter} and her claim to fame is she is Johns Widow.

tis ok if you do not like the Beatles.

The Beatles have never been my favorite group, but as I wrote recently, I think they changed the face of Rock and Roll (for better and worse) forever.  And I will always be indebted to them for breaking the mold and letting it continue to grow and adapt.

Nice Tribute to those who have gone.

yes without a doubt they did more for music in their time than any other band by far. they forever changed the face of music and opened doors that had been shut for years. The attribute all their success to Black jazz and blues music BTW. and of course Elvis. Lennon and McCarteny wrote over 600 tunes in their short time together. At one time they had 8 spots in the top ten music bill board. including the first five. Imagine that? No one and I mean no one has ever come close to doing that.

Post WWII: Radio flounders as television spawns.
1954: As radio struggles, and some stations shutter their doors, rock and roll comes along and saves radio. It's relevant again.
1959: Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson) perish in a plane crash. Rock and roll's backbone is broken.
1960: Elvis Presley is drafted. He makes no recordings during his two years in the Army.
In the interim, rock tries different genres: Surf music, dance crazes (the Twist, etc.) making singers out of teenage TV stars. Nothing really works.
1964: With rock and roll being lethargic, Beatlemania & the British Invasion inject new life into pop music and pop culture. The Beatles save rock and roll, thus re-saving radio.
Ironically, the British Invasion artists expose American audiences to R&B music, something that had been right under their noses for decades. R&B is suddenly hip.
1967: FM radio, radio's longtime step sibling, comes of age when adventurous stations start playing rock and roll in place of longtime FM standard formats Elevator, Classical, and Middle of the Road standards. Rock and roll makes FM radio. A whole new era of broadcasting begins.

We have the Beatles to thank for saving rock and roll, helping FM radio's programming development, playing an instrumental part in the exposure of R&B music, Arena rock, and Stadium rock.
It's been 45 years since their first record release and in the time since, no one's touched them.

You know how to make a guy feel old!
