Thread Name: first mature rock'n'roll lyrics
Subject: RE: first mature rock'n'roll lyrics
The Beatles?! They didn't do mature R'n'R, they just took the good old stuff, mixed it with Pablum and spoonfed it to the bubblegum set of the day. On the days I'll admit they wrote one or two good songs among them — I mean, "Yellow Submarine" or "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and all the stuff they brought back from whatever La-La land they inhabited could hardly quality — they were way past R'n'R and into something that resembled it only in that it used the same musical scales.

I thought this thread was about music.....
