Oh, hush, Peter... true, the Beatles' music and album covers was created by the Imperialist Capitalist Hoo-Ha, but it's all part of the dialectical process... Capitalism containing the seeds of its own destruction and all that. I mean, Blake himself, as a mystic/religionist/utopian was advancing the reactionary values of the opiate of the masses, but remember, Marx and Engels, as members of the League of the Just, would have sung right along. And more power to 'em! Blake rocks! Kick ass! The Beatles also rock! John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band (with the song "Working Class Hero") is probably the best album ever. People who snottily won't invite the Beatles or Blake or anybody else to the Party suck eggs. If we can use the enormous power of the spirit which causes thousands of girls to scream and scream and scream or the enormous power of Blake's poetry in the service of the Movement, then All Aboard! Yee-ha! Anarchy!
