Subject: RE: BS: Who do consider to be a genius?
Please note Mr. Sidewinder the DC5 quote was note mine. But I do agree with it. Millions of $, millions of fans do not manifiest a 'genius' History will prove that the Beatles were a pop group, who wrote many of the the best popular tunes of there time, not unlike Stephen Foster. Good music, but certainly not music that shook the pillars of music history.

Actually I find that Nelson Riddle line extremely humorus ... good one Sidewinder, I tilt my hat to you!

I am very familiar with the Let it Be album (showing age there)and it is I confess my favourite of theirs. I even anxiously purchased the 'Naked' release. Yes,I like "two of us", it is poignant meloncholia (jeesh), "Get Back", I have certainly been astounded by more swamp rock gutteral majesty than that (you have a way with words there), "Long and Winding Road", sorry I always skip that dribbling peace of crap. You forgot to mention "I Me Mine", and "Old Brown Shoe" ... George Harrison, if there was an intelligent one in the group he certainly was the one, and I say that sincerely.

"It's all about "pushing the barriers and planting the seeds" ... A garden doesn't just thrive on it's own, it must always be tilled. George Martin was the gardener.

Respectfully (to you Sidewinder),
