They showed so much promise too.

Even Paul admitted he did drugs into the '80's. but they're still
prompting The Beatles to new generations!!!

He also said he knew he was a genius when he was 10 years old,
nice self confidence there. :)

They broke up? I thought they just changed their name to the Ex-
Beatles.

So, what was Ringo Starr doing drumming for The Beach Boys? I have

Ringo only did one gig with the Beach Boys - July 4th, 1984, in
Washington D.C. "Back in the USSR" from that concert is on a charity
album. He also played on "California Calling" on their 1985 self titled
album.

Okay, thanks, Ron!

I think he even hung out with Jim Photoglo, recall seeing his picture on
that site.

It's better to burn out than to fade away. Everything is eventual.
We'll never know, but, perhaps the 70's
would have turned-out to be a bad era for The Beatles. As much as it
hurt people, maybe this was really for the best.

The eighties may have been a bad decade for the Beatles, with the
dominance of dance music leaving them behind, but even after their
breakup, the Beatles continued to individually dominate music in the
seventies. They did do mostly soft rock, but every now and again they
produced songs that could hold their own with the hard rock element in
classic rock.

However, you're right about fading away, which is what they're doing
now. Paul and Ringo started recording again a while back, but nothing
they do has the old magic, and it's not being played on the radio.
It's really kind of tragic. They're barely shadows of their former
greatness.

Even George's one attempt at redemption, "I Got My Mind Set on You,"
was a little repetitive. It was a decent song, with an excellent
hook, but he repeated it too much. He needed a chord change to a
second hook in the song.

The songs Yoko pulled out of John's closet after he died were the
same, and you could see why he never managed to release them. There
was only 1 min 30 seconds of material there, not enough for a 3 minute
song. He should have stuck them together and called them one song.
It could have been like his parting gift to the fans.

For a band that faded away, we're doing a lot of talking about them 40
years after they broke up.
