To find it weird that there are still articles about the Beatles in the mainstream press

I know that the Beatles were terrific and people really liked them. But they split up 55 years ago! There’s a thing in the Sunday Times (in the app it is the fourth story down but it’s possible it’s elsewhere in the hard copy) about John Lennon and Paul McCartney meeting (I think it was an extract from a book). It’s weird. This is a band that finished years before I was born (and I am properly middle aged).

But are there endless new stories and documentaries about Mozart? I would probably enjoy a documentary about Mozart, it would make a change from the Beatles.

I'm 67 and The Beatles were 'before my time', so the people for whom they were new and exciting must be seventy-five upwards. I have no interest in them but they were a phenomenon at the time, very popular and definitely a 'big business', so that might explain the continued interest.

Wait until you find out some people are still listening to Mozart...
