I hear what both Aaron and Tom are saying.
But remember, when the Beatles broke up, there was all sorts of turmoil and opinions about why, how, and the future without them as a group and now off on their own and reuniting or not.
One could say they all went a bit bizarre for a while. Hell, some even blamed the Apollo 13 incident because of the breakup! (They announced the breakup the day after the launch and Mission Control radioed the crew on their way to the moon before the incident and informed them)
Unfortunately, we lost John way way way to damn early.
Then George. But he had a good run afterwards.
All we got left now is Ringo and Paul.
And you have to admit, we were/are fortunate to have been able to live and be part of the Beatles and each one individually in our lifetimes.
One of the most striking comments on the In Performance at the White House I posted, during President Obama's speech awarding Paul the Gershwin Prize, he stated:
"Paul McCartney composed hundreds of songs over the years. With John Lennon and with others or on his own, nearly 200 of those songs made the charts. Think about that. And stayed on the charts for a cumulative total of 32 years."
That was in 2010. Were now 13 years later - and Paul is still going!
At any event, "All We Need Is Love!"
