"The Beatles started a revolution that changed us all forever" "The Beatles "presided over an epochal shift comparable in scale to that bridging Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages," writes professor Henry Sullivan, "or the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance." Indeed, they played a central role in catalyzing a transition from the Modern to the post-Modern Age and unknowingly set in motion forces that made an entire era what it was and, by extension, is today."

"Beatlemania hit the United States with full force on February 9, 1964, by way of television on the Ed Sullivan Show. For a short while, as some 72 million Americans got their first glimpse of the Beatles, with their mop-top haircuts and original music, the streets emptied and crime stopped. A cultural revolution was obviously at hand. "

Unlike artists before them, the Beatles had power over millions of people worldwide. In 1967, for example, with the release of their Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album, as one critic noted, it was the closest Europe had been to unification since the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

Some have even argued that the Beatles' influence helped bring down the Iron Curtain. As Yuri Pelyoshonok, a Soviet Studies professor, says: The Soviet authorities thought of the Beatles as a secret Cold War weapon. The kids lost their interest in all Soviet unshakable dogmas and ideals, and stopped thinking of an English-speaking person as the enemy. That's when the Communists lost two generations of young people ideologically, totally lost. That was an incredible impact."

FEBRUARY 1976: "At the start of the month, Bill Sargent, a Los Angeles pop promoter, offers The Beatles a guaranteed $50 million to perform one reunion concert, which will be televised on closed circuit television throughout the world. His basic plans are laid out as follows: 1. All four Beatles will perform live at any location of their choice, anywhere in the world, and that they may perform individually but they must play together for a minimum of at least 20 minutes."

2. Bill Sargent will retain all rights and all interests in the show in all media in perpetuity. He estimates that the cost of putting on the concert will be about $68,000,000 but, by charging $50 a seat at all cinemas showing the closed circuit broadcast, he believes he can gross approximately $150,000,000 in one single night. The Beatles said: No ($50 million in 1976 = $187 million in 2008!)

A few months later, September 20, 1976 "Sid Bernstein - a promoter for the early Beatle tours in America - publicly offers the Beatles $230 million dollars if they would re-unite to do a concert for charity. John, Paul, George and Ringo turn down the offer". ($ 230 million in 1976 = $ 863 millions in 2008)
Question: In 2008, ... ( 1 day ago by chucky1856)
Question: In 2008, is it possible that a promoter publicly offers to a group or an artist $863 million dollars for just one concert?

The Beatles were the biggest musical phenomenon of the 20th century, being largely responsible for inventing pop music as we know it. No other musical act has been as critically praised or as commercially successful, and only Elvis Presley's emergence in the mid-50s can compete with the Beatles' in terms of width or depth of cultural influence.
Soon they were ... ( 1 day ago by chucky1856)
Soon they were international pop superstars, prompting screams from hysterical teenagers wherever they went across the world . As well as becoming international pop celebrities, the Beatles did more than anyone else to push the boundaries of pop music, both in terms of recording techniques, and compositional aspects such as structure and melody. In these early days of pop music, the Beatles showed it could be an art form of no less essential worth than jazz or classical music.
The Beatles were ... ( 1 day ago by chucky1856)
The Beatles were also one of the first bands to take albums seriously (as opposed to just singles). They released 12 proper albums in their 10 year career, almost all of which are hugely critically acclaimed.
As well as their ... ( 1 day ago by chucky1856)
As well as their influence on music, the Beatles have also had a massive influence on fashion and culture. The 60s saw a world of increasing independence and hedonism, and a burgeoning western economy boosting the spending power of the young. The Beatles provided an aspirational focus for the rise of the 'independent teenager', their every clothing choice or verbal statement directly influencing the views and attitudes of fans.
But perhaps the ... ( 1 day ago by chucky1856)
But perhaps the Beatles' biggest contribution to western culture was that, in appealing so very much to so many people, they boosted the popularity of 'pop' music to the extent that it became the pre-eminent art form to the vast majority of ordinary people (as it still is today). Recorded music was becoming a source of enjoyment and a unifying force for millions anyway, but the music of the Beatles unified hundreds of millions of people unlike anything else in history.
