I’m having a weird moment. While cleaning house I put on the movie “yesterday“ from 2019. It’s about a man who wakes up and no one else has ever heard of a Beatles song. I’ve never liked the Beatles. Go ahead and throw the rotten fruit. But I’m finding that I enjoy listening to the songs in the movie. So apparently I dislike the Beatles, but I like Beatles songs. It’s weird.

Might be something in the air. Or in my case on the air. I was listening to The Beatles Channel on Sirius XM and at one point I started thinking of that movie. I've seen it twice already and will probably watch it again in the not too distant future.

There is a 2007 movie called Across The Universe that features covers of many classic Beatles songs. My wife prefers some of them to the original songs.

I know a number of people, including Frank Zappa, that disliked them because of all the marketing that was everywhere during Beatlemania. Some people disliked the early music because it was too pop-ie, according to them. But if you think of it, there came a time when the Beatles thought their early music was too pop-ie and they didn’t want to continue writing pop songs.

As a singer, Dylan is a great writer. I wouldn't walk across the street to see him perform.
