I totally cooled a friendship with someone who is a HUGE Beatles fan by asking something like "What's the big deal with the Beatles?"
See that was a personal attack. Very unattractive.
Actually, it was a sincere question - I really wanted to know. I've always thought there was something about the Beatles that I was missing. I'm not a musician - maybe that's why I don't fully appreciate them. You think? Greek
Maybe... I mean I was in band all through high school and even in college, but more concert band not rock band.
I just don't see what makes them so much more masterful than other bands...
As far as Rush, those songs just go on forever! And I don't 'get' them. Maybe that's why I like country so much. Most of the songs actually have story lines I can follow!
