   Also I like the fact that we’ve made the great news joke about 5 times in post titles…

   Ironic that the Beatles started getting into audience participation singalongs (even if they were about Nembutols, as “Yellow Submarine” was) at the precise moment that they stopped performing in front of audiences.

   “Eleanor Rigby” is one of the few Beatles songs in terms of both music and subject matter which actually sounds as though it could have been taken straight from 1878.

   Yeah, I went and looked at the Beatles chronology in the fervent hope that the YS/ER single came out after Candlestick Park so I could make this point, but it was a couple of months before. :(

   There’s also the point that the Beatles, or at least one of them, were the target of the most direct musical criticism of the 20th century!

   I think you’ll find that was more to do with the “bigger than Jesus” business.
