The Beatles in their heyday, clean-cut and besuited, wowing the public with their new brand of popular music and fresh-faced talent, and being acclaimed with the shouting and screaming of crowds of frenzied fans. They rocked the venues where they played and left their indelible mark on society. Rock on, guys, rock on!
Our Fab Four doing what all good Englishmen do, taking tea, in proper china teacups from a beautiful teapot to match! All very civilised, all very English, all very... proper. This may be the one and only time they were snapped politely partaking of the traditional english beverage like good little boys. You wouldn't catch their rivals, the Rolling Stones, doing this, would you?
The Boys in their bright and brash Sergeant Pepper outfits - pretty, aren't they? But Girls, would you have taken any one of them home to meet the parents? Be honest now.
The Beatles epitomised an era when barriers were coming down and taboos were being broken, when young people were freer than ever to do their 'thing' and had the cash to do it. Society was changing, the world was changing, and the Beatles were a motor for much of that change. Rightly or wrongly, young people (and not so young), copied and mimicked them, listening to their music and their pronouncements and believing that the world was changing for the better.

Hello, Chris.
ReplyDeleteSorry for not writing in English, but I think that maybe you will understand me better in Spanish. Hehe.
Siempre me han gustado The Beatles, así que me alegra encontrármelos aquí en tu blog. Durante algunos años los escuché casi obsesivamente. Ya lo hago menos, pero, de vez en cuando, me viene el eco de canciones concretas a la cabeza y tengo que escucharlas.
Las fotos que pones son un claro ejemplo de 'evolución de las especies' digno de Darwin. Quizá sólo te ha faltado el momento final, el de Let It Be con Yoko One de fondo.
He estado algún tiempo fuera, de vacaciones.
Acabo de actualizar mi blog. Espero que no tenga ya más interrupciones. Pásate si te apetece. Yo seguiré con interés el tuyo.
Un saludo.
