Hi Hans
Thanks for the ink to this article. Well, the Guardian always has high quality articles.

Great article…they are woven in our fabric and will never go away. Their influence keeps coming back.
it is an amazing story- its been over 50 years now- and they are still here- i go to the bookstore tomorrow and i bet there will be 5-6 mags with the boys on the cover.
Yes I have already seen a couple this past week. Bailey’s friends…19-25 year olds have watched it and into the Beatles. I don’t see this happening with anyone else.
Every generation seems to get it–we were the in the first post- Beatles generation that caught on.
I’ve seen the Beatles real hot 3 times in the past 25 years…Anthology, The 1 Greatest hits album/Rock Band Game…and now.
I think it was in Rob Sheffield’s book and I tend to agree with him – the ‘coldest’ time for The Beatles was the late 70’s early 80’s period..
The eighties part I do remember. It wasn’t the most popular thing being a Beatles fan when new wave hit…and punk in the seventies.
I snagged a 6-month free Disney Plus subscription when I bought my new phone. God is Good. I just finished part 1 last night. Truly magic to be privileged enough to sit in on those sessions, the good, the bad, and the ugly of them. Something I want to throw out there from what I’ve seen so far: you know how Yoko is attached at the hip to John? I described her to my son as a stain on the wall of the room, always unsightly, always present. I am wondering if George had his Hare Krishna follower friends sitting over to the side in the first part of this as a pointed message to John of how the other 3 feel having Yoko *always there*. Thoughts?
p.s. The author of the Guardian article is right: they shall never grow old.
A well written article, and the author is spot on. Thanks for posting this. I’ve watched part 1 and a bit of part 2 and will finish it soon. So, who will be the next Beatles of this generation? I can’t imagine any band out there that could carry that weight or have that much talent.
There will never be another- I envy you- you lived through it I was too young…
I remember when, on his radio show, Larry King said that the Beatles were a once in a lifetime phenomenon. The phone in comments from listeners across the age spectrum, were mostly in agreement.
