Hmmm....see, I grew up in the '70s and when punk came along *it* was the
greatest single life-changing force in MY world. The Beatles were already
dead and buried -- despite them being my favourite act of all time, punk
reminded us how easily the slate could be wiped clean and we could start
again. I have to think that those kids growing up in the shadow of Kurt
Cobain feel the same way and the Beatles, like my parents' Elvis, are but a
blip on the evolutionary chain that got us to where we are today.
And as I touched on in a previous email. The Beatles do not hold the
copyright on success. The internet will continue to remold the music
model....and as someone else astutely pointed out, maybe the next 'Beatles'
won't even be a musical entity.
Maybe it'll be those guys that step onto the surface of Mars for the first
time.
