150 Glimpses of the Beatles by Craig Brown
5.0
Oh, just wonderful And the audio version is FANTASTIC!! “Though fifty years have passed since the breakup of the Beatles, the fab four continue to occupy an utterly unique place in popular culture. Their influence extends far beyond music and into realms as diverse as fashion and fine art, sexual politics and religion. When they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, fresh off the plane from England, they provoked an epidemic of hoarse-throated fandom that continues to this day.” [from the Amazon summary]
The Beatles’ music is the soundtrack of my life and it’s really hard to believe that 50 years have passed since they broke up. It’s easy to think we know all there is to know about them, but I learned a lot. In the end, my opinion of John changed quite a bit (for the worse) and I have a new appreciation for Ringo, who I found to be the most endearing. It’s impossible not to love Paul, right? And George? I’m still ambivalent.
The book was published in the UK with the title “One, Two, Three, Four: The Beatles in Time” (better title!). Do listen to the audio if you can. It’s a magnificent production.
