Thanks Graham. I did like the Beatles and had several of their albums, including Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper, and one more hat I can't recall the name. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan, don't like country western at all. Don't know what she sings now but she started in country western. My youngest granddaughter - now 29 - wanted to be Taylor Swift bt he voice was too soft to carry even with a microphone.
The main thrust here is that I think The Beatles were great, but not that great. They produced a huge quantity of music, but all the great ideas came from their manager and producers (use of classical motifs, for instance, and Pythonesque elements produced by long nights smoking pipes). The products of LSD were far better coming from Led Zep and Genesis than they were from The Beatles. I mean, "I am the walrus"? Of course, they made movies too, and that endeared them to the travelling public.
The girls screamed for them, and the people who tut-tutted at that on the news at 6 are now their most ardent fans and can probably even tell you what they were doing when Lennon was shot.

I agree, some of their music was good, but Beethoven they were not. I was never a screaming teenager, that was long after my time LOL
It's never too late. Just make sure the doors are all locked and you're truly alone, and then, let it rip!
Love the suggestion, but the walls are paper thin in this apartment. If I started screaming my neighbors would call the police or an ambulance LOL
