“It was 20 years ago today…”

My interest of the band emerged with:○ A listening of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”○ Meaning of George Harrison’s lyrics○ Band’s humble beginning

“Come together, right now…” The Beatles were one of the most

positive influential forces of today’s society as a result of their:

Influenced society through their music.○ Music was unique and intriguing.○ England’s society disproval of rock ‘n roll led

to innovative alternatives such as skiffle. ○ The Beatle’s reluctance of limitations of music

options to play.

“If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat…” The group’s music held aspects not

heard in any other band’s work.○ Different combinations of genres of music. ○ Instruments used in recordings not normally

used in rock ‘n roll.○ Vocal Harmonies ○ Constantly experimented with ○ their songs

“I get by with a little help from my friends…”
