I have a lot of free time on my hands as of right now, so I've been thinking a lot about God, life and, of course, the Beatles. I'm ressurecting this blog during downtime to put down random thoughts on what it entails to be a Beatles fan. One thought I keep coming to is that the music of the Beatles is synonymous with the lives the Beatles lived. Their work is one of the few cultural sparks that is not only formed by the past, their present as they were crafting thier work and informs thier post-Beatle existences. We don't get to Sgt. Pepper without Revolver, and we don't get to "I Feel Fine" without "Love Me Do". Then, we don't get "My Sweet Lord" without "Long, Long, Long". Nor do we get Rose Red Speedway without Abbey Road, or we get the Bee Gees's Sgt. Pepper film without Danny Boyle's Yesterday. This is a critical analysis of work compounded on work to create work or to undo work in other cases...
Music expulsions and other things.
