Just had to listen to the original version of the Bieber song to see what it was like. The Beatles influence is clear in that one.

Re: The beatles were fucking fantastic!
Not really - this harks back to two generations earlier - the 40s if anything - and a working class focused music which went the way of all things by the 60s.

Beatles fans get reply from Paul McCartney 50 years on
wo women from Essex have received a reply from Sir Paul McCartney, half a century after trying to contact him.
Barbara Bezant and Lyn Phillips recorded a message to the then Beatle in 1963 and sent a tape to the London theatre where the band was playing.
Decades later it turned up at a car boot sale and the women were reunited with the recording by The One Show.
Sir Paul wrote to them to thank them for their "lovely tape" and said "better late than never".
At the time of the recording, Barbara Bezant and Lyn Phillips were 17 and 19 respectively and both lived in Eltham, south London.
They saw The Beatles at the Lewisham Odeon in December 1963 and recorded their message on a reel-to-reel tape recorder before posting it to the Finsbury Park Astoria, where the band were due to play.
Among other things, the message said: "This dream is just to come round the back and see you, but I don't suppose that'll ever happen.
"But we can always live in hope, can't we?"
(continued, still hope for you too Rum?)

Re: The beatles were fucking fantastic!
I've read some early reviews and also heard an interview on the radio with the author a week or so ago. The guy is truly obsessive and appears to be into demolishing the revisionism and myth that has grown up around the group, who as far as I am concerned did more to shape the late 20th century than almost any other cultural artiwhatsit. Looks really good (if you are a fan of course).

Re: The beatles were fucking fantastic!
Rum you want to make time stand still. The myth of the Beatles is your way of saying you haven't aged. Things have moved on and the fab four have really lost their relevance. Best accept it rather than become a fossil yourself. It's the way of things...beginning, middle and end. Yellow submarine gone and sunk itself down and down, you realize?Rum wrote:I've read some early reviews and also heard an interview on the radio with the author a week or so ago.

The book is probably an interesting sociological/historical study of the 1950s. UK and Europe did not have the economic boom as soon as the US, after the war.

Bit of nostalgia. It's actually the only factual post in the blog.
