well, it's my last night here in Vegas and holy moly, what a show at the mirage hotel/casino. the music is amazing - if you like the beatles even a little, I rec listening to the compilation/remix album they released for this show in 2006: "LOVE". the show was fun, thrilling, moving and you gotta see it soon if you want to because I believe it's going to be closing for good after this year. it was the brainchild of george harrison and after his death, george martin and his son giles created the remix soundtrack using the deep, back catalog of apple records' master tapes to bring this exhilarating show to life.

I just going to cut to the chase, I canāt stand the Beatles hate. I understand everyone has their opinions and is entitled to like what they like, but in our year 2025 people still like to debate the validity of the fours musical and cultural importance by saying ātheyāre overratedā. Excuse me!? I dare you to name an artist or group of the last 50 years and tell me that person was not somewhat influenced by the Beatles in some capacityā¦ quickly! They are your favorite artistsās favorite artists. From Michael Jackson to Nirvana, even BeyoncĆ© included a cover of āBlackbirdā on her latest Cowboy Carter release. Every artist, every genre, every decade, it all leads back to the Beatles.Ā
Itās one thing if you donāt like the Beatles, maybe they arenāt your thing sure Iāll give you that. But to say theyāre ābasicā or donāt deserve hype is just plain wrong. At the very least I feel as though everyone should respect the Beatles and their contributions to music and pop culture, because without them, the larger cultural zeitgeist in which we know it to be today would not exist -this isnāt even an exaggeration. For one, Beatlemania was one of the first cultural examples of āstan cultureā no doubt and shaped the way audiences today engage in fandoms. The band are also regarded for their innovative song writing structure and studio recording techniques. Imploring string quartets, tape loops, and experimenting with guitar distortions added new sounds to pop music and challenged the clean, tight, bubble gum sounds found in pop radio at the timeā sounds they helped to popularize. In an age where every part of a song can be made and manipulated using a computer program, the boys were in the studio COOKING using objects, instruments, and just about anything else they can get their hands on to create marvel sonic arrangements never heard before. Constantly pushing barriers and evolving in style and sound, the Fab Four gave the world new music to behold with every release. Pop, rock, metal, psychedelic, folk, alternative, and more can all be found inside the works of the Beatles. Few acts have stood the test of time, and even fewer boast an abundantly rich catalogue of prolific source material thatās been studied so intensely and adored by generations upon generations of music fans. Their work is still continually shaping the soundscape of modern music and leaving an undeniable mark on the cultural fabric music and the world.Ā
I can go on and on and on but I will just say this, the Beatles are very important to pop music and culture as a whole. And if you stuck around to read all this I can only assume that you agree with me. And if youāre still unsure about the Beatles, I compiled a playlist on Apple Music of 20 of my personal favorite songs. Give it a listen and please share your thoughts on the four lads from Liverpool (good or bad) I would love to hear what others think. But thank you for letting me get this off my chest. Peace and love āš½
