Four Guys from Liverpool – Part 1

I caught a bit of the new Beatles television documentary “Sgt. Pepper's Musical Revolution” on PBS recently and it was really great. Just when I'd given up on trying to extract any new meaning or pleasure from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band this intelligent documentary provided me with new insight into and appreciation for “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “She's Leaving Home” (though “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” still ranks pretty low on my Beatles list. Sorry, John).

I guess my favorite thing about the Beatles (other than their music having formed the soundtrack to a large part of my life) is their willingness to experiment and let their imaginations soar while staying true to their universal mission of peace, love, and rock & roll. (And what a great bass player!) Here are some of my favorite Beatles songs- which really just leave me wanting more. Enjoy!
