1965
These were the years of dash
and daring. Sweeping out of the final (and wonderfully old-fashioned)
1964 family Christmas Shows into the wider world of 1965, The Beatles
would soon find themselves figureheads of a movement far beyond “pop”
where a counter-culture / alternative society was made flesh. National
boundaries were presumed to be doomed. Millions of minds were to become
expanded and many trousers would soon be spandex.
...though the
music would continue to pour out of them breaking in great waves over
uncharted, challenging Reason and warming the heart, the Beatles would
tire of those great sweating stadiums where they now played to screaming
crowds who could no longer hear them.
