I've never dived right into the whole BEATLES thing, maybe coz they were so fucken commercial and massive and didin't necessarily appeal to my counter-culture tendencies.. etc..etc..But I've always wondered why there have never been any really raw, insightful and even intellectual books written about the Beatles 'music', as there have been about Dylan or the Velvet Underground or HipHop or post-punk etc..etc..etc..How come Clinton Heylin has never gone there, or even Greil Marcus. i guess their obviously commerical 'pop' paradigm never had them aligned with the counter-culture as much as other acts of the time, but sonically some of their stuff is marvellous (and of course alot is horrible)...
If anyone can recommend any good lit. in regards to the Beatles music, I'm all text.. Cheers
