The record producer Rick Rubin once waxed so lyrical about The Beatles that even a desperate second-hand car salesman might blush: “It transcends everything,” he eulogised, “It’s much bigger than four kids from Liverpool. For me, The Beatles are proof of the existence of God. It’s so good and so far beyond everyone else that it’s not them.” This might sound like a highfalutin thought if it wasn’t for the fact that so many people agree with him.Rubin’s words came in 2013, almost half a century on from the last Beatles release, Let It Be—and that is a significant thing to ponder. You see, ther ..read more

Although Yoko Ono became world famous in the late 1960s after kindling a romantic bond with The Beatles’ bespectacled genius John Lennon, she had begun a successful career in the arts earlier in the decade. After all, it was through art that these kindred spirits born on opposite sides of the world first met. Before she met Lennon, Ono’s first encounter with a Beatle was with Paul McCartney. She visited the Beatle at his London address to obtain a Lennon-McCartney song manuscript for John Cage, who was writing his book Notations at the time. McCartney politely declined but suggested that Len ..read more

For most musicians, the peak of rock and roll begins and ends with The Beatles. Although the genre started with acts like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, the Fab Four offered the perfect package for anyone with a catchy tune, capturing hearts with everything from raucous hard rock to tender balladry. While they may have had a firm grip on what people wanted to hear, George Harrison never once claimed to be a great musician.
