Here comes The Beatles

Like a lot of people around today, The Beatles was just another hippy-era relic that needed to be shoved and  left unkempt behind closed cupboards. Not until The Boy introduced me to their music(which is the case most of the times), I wasn't really ready to experiment. Yes I knew the usual classics (yellow sub, let it be, hey jude). But to discover and let the beatles beauty unfold is another thing. I've been hooked  ever since. I get unusually emotive, pleased and satiated after every song. The other day I picked up a copy of the recent Open magazine which has a brilliant piece on them. The Beatles was and is a release - from damning binds, from obscurity and from the rigid ism's that hound our lives. They were a manifestation of a nomadic freedom, a social and cultural revolution that left everyone gasping for more. I'm totally in love. Given the thrash that we need to gulp down as music these days, I (as do zillions of others) think they ought to be here now.
