Notes

Fourteen articles and essays covering The Beatles' story, with contributions from William F. Buckley, Timothy Leary and Ned Rorem.

From the back cover:

The Beatles Book is about the most financially successful musical quartet in the history of entertainment. It's about their music, their movies, their poetry, their religion, ther social thought. Fourteen famous critics and writers offer serious observations and deliver outrageous opinions on the Beatles and the contemporary scene. The result is a vastly readable and thought-provoking study of mid-twentieth century life and art.

Timothy Leary says:

"I declare that John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr are mutants. Evolutionary agetns sent by God, endowed with mysterious power to create a new human species."

William F. Buckley, Jr.: "The Beatles are not merely awful, I would consider it sacrilegious to say anything less than godawful."

Nat Hentoff: "The Beatles are increasingly for the comfortable and afraid."

Ned Rorem: "They have removed sterile martyrdom from art, revived the sensual."

In addition to the outspoken authors above, The Beatles Book contains memorable essays by these distinguished scholars and writers:

Richard Poirer
Ralph J. Gleason
Larry Neal
Richard Goldstein
Herbert J. Freudenberger, Ph.D.
Al Lee
Leonore Fleischer
Peter Stafford
Edward E. Davis
Allen Keesee
