I'm in my 50s and see what you all say about their earlier music, compared to theirlater music. Grante if the Beatles had not evolved from the earlier music to the later, thay would have been left at the way side. If you listen to their ealier music it had a mixture of rock a lot of rock, so hint of country in their songs, not only country blues also. The earlier music if you really listen to it, they were coming out with songs on thier albums that to me deserved more recongnition that she loves, saw her standing there, please please me. Every critic from that era mentions rhe Beatles having a big hint of country sound in a few of their songs, I don't want to spoil the party, is one song strongly mentioned by critics and us non critics alike that song was compose with a strong country sound to it, the critics even later when country/southern Rock came out claim T don't want to spoil the party, as the prelude to these bands coming out then. The Beatles were influenced by country, Blues, and elvis, and other some fairly known, to some not well known at all. Even the Rolling Stones admit this also that country, and blues played a big part in their styles of music. The Stones are big fans of Waylon Jennings. Then again waylon Jennings was one of the crickets, Buddy Holly's group. It was Waylon who gave up his seat on the plane that killed Buddy Holly, Big Bobber, and sorry bad memory here(The character lou diamon Philips play in La bama.) Don't be so quick to dismiss the beatles earlier songs, the song "One after 909, Off the let it be album, was actually written in 1959. Songs like I'm Falling, and many others give a strong sense of what the Beatles had inside them. The big changes with albums Revolver, Rubber Soul, Sgt peppers, showed they were heading towards magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles album with no nmae just Beatles where they are standing on the steps of some building, songs paper back wrioter, Lady Modda on it, thos Albums showed they were Moving or evolving in a direction, to this day I think if had they stayed together would have produced some great song writing, and composing, and arrangments, that I believe would have put Sgt peppers, white album, abbey Road, let it be, on a level just below what I feel they could have acheived. John showed that he could see the foolishness of some of the people in the 60s, like the Maharaji not sure of the spelling saw him as a joke. When they wrote dear prudence, the sister of twiggy, was to say hey get out side here, have a life you have become blinded by this mans foolishness, all she did was stay inside as so many others comsummed with amazement of this supposed religious type man. They were saying get out, see the world not just his, whether to this day or not, not sure what became of her. Yes george stuck with the Harkrisna beliefs, John and paul did not. John reraaly lets it out with his song Working class hero, again not sure of last part of the title. Hard days night was written in one night by John and paul for the movie, the producers asked them if they could come up with a title song to go with the movie. No acid or lil hidden messages were in the song. John even mentioned ion an interview we could write songs about nothing, and the Fans would buy it, look for claim their are hidden drug references and hidden messages in their songs. Sure you can tell some songs are and were written no so much about drugs but to be listen to when doing drugs, acid. a day in the life part had to do with a friend of Johns who died in a car accident. The worst song if you even want to call it a song was revolution#9, the other members did not want it in the white album, they figured John because of drugs was thinging it was going to be something so unique, to me it lessed the great writing and sings of the White Album. But we all make mistakes, acid makes you think everything sounds great, that you feel good liuke, think your mind is becoming so opened and gaining great knownledge, when all it did was when you came off it showed how dumb or foolish you were to take something and thing it was great while on drugs, should be great on an album, here john F"d up badly. |
