Just heard this group called "The Beatles" for the first time today.
A song called "She Loves You."

They SUCK!
Does their lead singer know any words other than "yeah, yeah, yeah?"

13. They're not a patch on The Irrationals.
Not to mention Solar Radio.

11. I don't know, but I did hear another song whose lyrics were:
"Love love love
Love love love
Love love love"

Repeated ad nauseum.

16. You mean the 'Shite Album'.
Listen friend, if you want real music, you've gotta go to the source.

27. Every generation gets it's day in the sun, but The Beatles will
be in the history books. What's good now doesn't make what was good then bad.

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn’t matter much to me..
Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can’t you know tune in but it’s all right, that is I think it’s not too bad.
Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it’s me, but you know I know when it’s a dream.
I think I know I mean a ’yes’ but it’s all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.
Strawberry fields forever."

10. Their hair is too long and their trousers are too tight.

And who wears shoes like this? I mean really.

23. In '78, you could have mistaken my wardrobe for Paul Weller's.
I remember finding a pair of unworn Beatle Boots in a thrift shop. I couldn't believe my luck.

They were stolen from a motel room in Trenton, New Jersey in 1981. If anyone in Trenton knows the whereabouts of my boots, I'd really like them back.

32. Minor Threat and... um...
Fugazi's first album was pretty good.

So Ian McKay is the only halfway decent sober rocker. So what?

17. They're like rabid RWers....always
thinking about Yesterday... and their views on the elderly like poor Ms. Eleanor Rigby are very sinister... plus, they're for the military establishment with their Yellow Submarine....
