That the Beatles invaded America. And to celebrate it, there's a huge Beatles Special on TV tonight. With everybody who is anybody showing up.
Johnny Depp, Jeff Lynne, Joe Walsh, Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban. And a gazillion more, I'm sure. The show's just getting started.
I readily admit that the impact the Fab Four had on music is second to none. And 500 years from now, the songwriting team of Lennon-McCartney will be recognized as the greatest of the last half of the 20th century.
But as for their music itself? I found it to be good, but not great. Too much "pop" and not enough "rock & roll" for my taste. And as for the half-century-old question, "Beatles or Stones", my answer has always been "The Doors".
