I had a feeling you'd compare songs from different years when the times were different... Love Me Do vs. Jumpin' Jack Flash. Obviously The Stones are hard and Beatles soft! D'uh!Quote

michaelsavage, how exactly were The Beatles "safer"? can you give me some examples? You've used the word "safe" many times now to describe The Beatles. Care to go a bit deeper than that? I'm not sure what "safer" even means.
Softer kind of music. " I wanna hold your hand" or "Stupid Girl"/"Under my Thumb? That's why parents were told to lock up their girls when the Stones came to town.

But still--I bet I'm not the only one thinking "Wow, you saw the Beatles!"
Why couldn't you hear them, was it the girls screaming? (It would have been the same with the Stones in 1965, if so.)

I will always love the Beatles, but I will never forgive them for quitting on their fans. I really blame John. They brought much joy to the world until that self serving and self destructive bastard Lennon destroyed it all.
I blame John for dying on us when he was shot. Not everyone dies when they get shot but he chose to die. What an ass-hole. He had so much more music in him. That bastard!Quote

How pathetic you place all those expectations on the back of Lennon. And to be so selfish to hinge your happiness on his slavery. Yes, that's right slavery. Why should anyone stay in something they are unhappy with and not grow as a person because a "fan" would be unhappy. This is real life. The man had other priorities. And he was in love and wanted something new. George did as well. It would have collapsed under its own weight eventually anyhow. Lennon is not at fault for wanting to live his life and not be a slave to The Beatles and misguided "fans" who hinge their entire life to a band.

There's me thinking all along that it was Paul McCartney who announced he'd left the band, who timed the release of a solo album a couple of weeks ahead of the band's final studio release, who disagreed with the other three regarding hiring Allen Klein as an adviser and who ended up suing the rest of the band to break up their partnership at the end of 1970.

Well, I'm pretty stupid, that could be the problem.
