Corruption? Sorry, but the only ones that are easily influenced are the weak ones (helooooo swami!). Musically, the Beatles turned out some really good stuff, but they also turned out boatloads of schlock. What the press affectionately calls 'experimentation' reeks of people who experiment because they have no clue who they are or what they want. It is very easy for men like that to latch on to strong-minded women. Once again, the press may see the gals as a Beatle-Accessory, but I have a feeling that in their own homes, things are decidedly different. I confess to having no prior knowledge of the current Missus Paul until seeing an interview a few weeks ago, and my only thought after hearing this fireball speak is "what in the world is she doing with him".
