The Beatles Showcased at Yorshire Exhibition |
| 8/22/2008 10:04:02 AM |
 It has almost been four decades since the Beatles went their separate ways but that has not extinguished their popularity in the least bit. People like me who were two generations past their hay day are still listening to their music and falling in love with their sound. This point can be hammered home with a new photo inspired exhibition at Doncaster in South Yorkshire,... Read More |

Why I'll Always Respect The Beatles |
| 8/2/2008 9:52:57 AM |
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were just four ordinary lads from Liverpool. Before they got together to form the most legendary rock and role band of all time, I bet none of them had the faintest idea what the future had in store for them.
What was it about the Beatles that made them so successful? In my opinion, it wasn’t just about their... Read More |

Why Beatles Music is Relevant to the 21st Century |
| 8/2/2008 9:46:15 AM |
Even though their last album came out almost forty years ago, I still think that the Beatles music is relevant to the audiences of today. No, I'm not talking about aging Baby Boomers who put on a Beatles CD so they can relive their glory days. If you pay any attention at all to contemporary popular music, you'll hear a lot of covers of Beatles music, some of them... Read More |

The Music Of John Lennon Lives On |
| 7/23/2008 8:25:01 AM |
I first became a fan of The Beatles when I was fourteen years old circa 1990, more than twenty-five years after the band first became popular. My fascination with The Beatles began when I watched a documentary all about them. I especially liked John Lennon because I felt that he had more charisma than the other Beatles, and a better singing voice. I knew then that the... Read More with Video |

Ringo Starr is Underrated |
| 6/24/2008 11:03:33 AM |
 When I think about the renowned British rock band The Beatles, I automatically envision John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Even George Harrison springs to mind before Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. To be fair, Ringo Starr probably deserves far more recognition than he commonly receives. As the drummer in The Beatles, Starr initiated a fresh style of rhythm in pop music. If you... Read More |

Paul McCartney is Still Rocking |

I think one of the reasons that the Beatles have been enduringly popular from the 1960s until now is that ordinary people can relate to them. The Beatles come from working class roots, and none of them ever forgot where they came from. Paul McCartney has always kept it real. That’s why the latest news about him returning to his hometown, Liverpool, to play a show at... Read More with Video |

It's no secret that the Beatles are a legend. It's also no secret that their music is a living legend (of course, two of the Beatles, George Harrison and John Lennon, have gone to the big rock concert in the sky!).
However, there are few bands that achieve such success, in such a short span of time, as the Beatles have.
Why? Well, the Beatles had an incredible energy and... Read More |
