McCartney Times

“There will never be another Beatles,” Gene Simmons once said. With every passing juncture of pop culture, that seems more and more apparent. There is an argument that there shouldn’t have even been a Beatles in the first place. They defied more of the norms of society than a cheese sandwich in China. It’s easy to reconcile their initial success, but for The Beatles to have sustained that as they ventured towards increasingly avant-garde avenues is a feat that flouts logic.You could easily argue that the most successful band of all time were paradoxically non-commercial. At least in their later days, they were as experimental as anyone else on the scene. Take, for instance, ‘I Am the Walrus’: there is no way that a song inspired by the sexual kinks of Eric ‘The Eggman’ Burdon, a workaday Geordie singer, transmuted in the drug-addled mind of John Lennon, a Jesus Christ-defiling oddball, run through the wringer of an avant-garde collision of rock and classical orchestration, taking on the ground-breaking compositional structure of a harmonic Moebius strip, should reasonably expect to be a hit that lives on for centuries.
