I guess because I experienced their amazing explosion on the American scene, and can still remember their Ed Sullivan appearances and all the frenzy, I grew up loving them ... and still admire their music.
I love the increbible progression they made over a decade, and that they quit while ahead. I'm less enthusiastic about the solo careers, though I find much to admire in Lennon's and Harrison's.
Have I ever mentioned in this pages that I have George Harrison's DNA on a napkin???
I expect to have a Beatles mini-mania in the coming days, after I finish an insane project. I'm going to see Cirque's "LOVE" next week, then I'll find time to see "Across the Universe," and I'll make time to listen to the underground "HATE" album that Coaster Matt turned me on to, and the extensive Purple Chick alternate takes versions of the Beatles albums that mousepod sent me ages ago.
Beatles Beatles Beatles Beatles Beatles Beatles Beatles Beatles.
I read the Scorcese film news in Variety today, and I'm ecstatic. Think Marty will want to interview me about my George napkin???
