The Beatles

[John(Zappa)]

Do me a favour Zappa...shut up and grow up..OK...
Lets move on cause I cant be arsed with you or the shi te you come out with.

Am not in the habit of doing people like you favours just because you don't understand different opinions.You have to be abusive.
I do pity people like yourself.
If you'd taken time to read what I had written I did say that I was glad that the Beatles where there for those who appreciate them.
So no problems here!!!

Although I don't wholeheartedly agree with his viewpoint, I can partly see where Frank is coming from. Personally I've got bored since I've lived in Liverpool of hearing/seeing stuff about the Beatles. It's almost done to excess. Personally I like some of their music, and have a good selection of Beatles tracks on i-tunes, but I'm not crazy about them.

I just think sometimes perhaps too much emphasis is given on them, as if they are a big reason why Liverpool is a great city. As we've seen in recent years, a pop act having a big following doesn't necessarily mean they are good musicians, but simply that they are marketed well by their management and label.

As I said, I like the music, I like the history, I like the story and I particularly liked the museum at the Albert Dock, but sometimes I can't help but think 'get over it - Liverpool has plenty of good stuff, past and present, why do we still need to obsess about the Beatles?'.

Sorry if that annoys anyone, just my two pence...

Hi all

I agree with Kev. Calm down everyone and be friends.

John, you might be interested to know that I spent part of my day on Saturday with a Liverpool fan from north London with whom I went to an Irish bar downtown to see LFC play Aston Villa. He was in the Baltimore area staying with relatives because he had come here specifically to see Frank Zappa's son Dweezil play his father's music in concert in "Zappa on Zappa" this past week.

He did though develop his love of music first through hearing the Beatles. I directed him to this thread and his comment was: "How anyone can say the Beatles were 'not even talented' is beyond me. I mean, whether you like them or not, the creative strides they made speak for themselves."

Ah yeah, the painted sign so it can't be stolen!!

Howie, yes, the airport is great for that. I've taken advantage of it on several occasions, although I take my i-pod incase I get withdrawal symptoms.
