Piney, do you subscribe to Entertainment Weekly? Big Beatles section in the new issue. It's fab.

Sadly the folks who probably never heard about The Beatles probably are aware of every nit-wit reality pseudo-celeb.

"Rubber Soul" was the first album I owned! Love it!

My sweet Lord.

*tries to think of other bands that have inspired that kind of... lasting... attachment*

Three geniuses. It's just that the third stayed, or was kept, off to the side.

I was just talking at work last night with a fellow Beatlemaniac -- he's planning to buy both the stereo and the mono complete sets -- about how George's Beatles songs are some of my favorites in recent years. They're so quiet, so understated. No less brilliant.
