…posters: Abbey Road Let it be
we all are a big fan.. especially my daughter.
I just figured that when you type beatles on the Google search engine you get the Beatles rock Band .. everything is changing and technology killed the emotional relationships between art and its follower. or maybe the opposite, technology has opened so many doors of forgotten beauties.
The Beatles’ influence on popular culture was—and remains—immense. Former Rolling Stone associate editor Robert Greenfield said, “People are still looking at Picasso … at artists who broke through the constraints of their time period to come up with something that was unique and original. In the form that they worked in, in the form of popular music, no one will ever be more revolutionary, more creative and more distinctive than The Beatles were.” From the 1920s, the United States had dominated popular entertainment culture throughout much of the world, via Hollywood movies, jazz, the music of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley and, later, the rock and roll that first emerged in Memphis, Tennessee. Drawing on their rock and roll roots, The Beatles not only triggered the British Invasion of the US, but themselves became a globally influential phenomenon.
The Beatles’ musical innovations, as well as their commercial success, inspired musicians worldwide. A large number of artists have acknowledged The Beatles as an influence or have had chart successes with covers of Beatles songs. On radio, the arrival of The Beatles marked the beginning of a new era; program directors like Rick Sklar of New York’s WABC went as far as forbidding DJs from playing any “pre-Beatles” music. The Beatles redefined the album as something more than just a few hits padded out with “filler”. They were primary innovators of the music video. The Shea Stadium date with which they opened their 1965 North American tour attracted what was then the largest audience in concert history and is seen as a “landmark event in the growth of the rock crowd.” Emulation of their clothing and especially their hairstyles, which became a mark of rebellion, had a global impact on fashion.
More broadly, The Beatles changed the way people listened to popular music and experienced its role in their lives. From what began as the Beatlemania fad, the group grew to be perceived by their young fans across the industrialized world as the representatives, even the embodiment, of ideals associated with cultural transformation. As icons of the 1960s counterculture, they became a catalyst for bohemianism and activism in various social and political arenas, fueling such movements as women’s liberation, gay liberation and environmentalism

But it was just too much and I was many months without listening to their music but now it’s coming back slowly since this fall…
That’s cool! I’m having fun since i’m a teenager collecting LP’s, Singles, 8 Track Tapes, Cassettes from their group and solo careers. I saw Paul McCartney in concert in the summer of 2008. It was magical
Big Hugs to you

Ramon: anthology videos? where can I find them? I know they had a controversial personal lives. but i think that was the key of their success. I remember the Liverpool video. I have never been fan of Paul McCartney but lately I am in a very deep discovery about him. I wish I can go to one of his concerts before he retires. he was here last summer.. I missed it . Happy New Year..

Very nice. I have a Abbey Road picture frame in my room. I first get to know the Beatles with the song Twist and shout from the Ferris Bueller in the mid-eighties but it really started when I received a Beatles CD Box Set at christmas when I was 14. It’s just sad that the Beatles company – Apple – is run by businessmen and lawyers with only ambition of making more money.

Now you must get a good rest, Nirva. I didn’t know about the skateboarding. The Beatles are a big subject for me. My first long video was about them and about Liverpool, where I tried to feel their presence. When I watch the Anthology videos, I can sense some of their personal shortcomings, but I still love them very much, and the music is just … fab. Hugs : )
