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).

Yes, there was a new one on tv just a few months ago.

The Beatles changed musical history. They were era-defining. They've had untold influence on art and culture for decades. And one of them was literally murdered.

So yeah, the interest will continue as long as there are still people around to discover their music.

And another one stabbed

I feel the same way about Elvis. His music will
continue to live on but as I wasn’t there - I don’t get the fuss. Not sure whether I should watch the movie about him that was released a year or two ago but my kids were introduced to his music (covers) through the animated LILO and Stitch film.

Radio 2 recently ran a poll of the top Elvis songs. I bet you were perplexed by that too.
