From screaming fans to scoffing critics to worried parents, the world might not have been ready for The BeaTles, but there they were.
50 years ago The BeaTles stepped onto North American soil and into the history books and hearts of millions.
Crashing in on the first wave of the British Invasion of North America, Beatlemania was just the edge of what they had in store.
Their diverse techniques and elements ensured that The BeaTles music appealed to wide audiences.
Songs that ranged from mindless love songs to pop hits to anthems of a generation looking for change, with a few quirky bits thrown in to remember just how much fun they must have been having, recreationally.
The music was driven by whatever they were thinking and doing, crunching in novel ideas and technologies.
The band played with mediums, expressions, and thoughts like children enthusiastically playing with Christmas morning toys.
I wonder in this more homogenized world if we would ever allow bands like this again? There have been great bands, but they seem fewer and farther between.
So whether you love them, hate them, ardently mock them, or try to ignore them, The BeaTles left their shiny boot prints all over the world…
Living is easy with eyes closed. Misunderstanding all you see. It’s getting hard to be someone. But it all works out, It doesn’t matter much to me. Let me take you down…~The BeaTles
Who could have Imagined The BeaTles? You can’t make this stuff up.

I need to listen to The Beatles more….Kate Bush is pretty random too and still is, and there probably still are people as diverse as these guys but you won’t find them on mainstream anything.
What does the song Strawberry Fields mean?

There are great bands, but few appeal to such a wide audience. There are many interpretations of Strawberry Fields, I always though it was about stopping the corporations and government by finding the truth…through various means. By the way, Kate Bush is amazing. And Ultravox.
