snip But why do you get sixty-somethings who are still besotted by
The Beatles? Pathetic!

But if you take that attitude to extremes, why are other sixty somethings
still besotted with music that was produced before the Beatles, i.e.
Beethoven or Mozart?

Because, generally speaking, Beethoven, Mozart and Co wrote
music which
(a) has pleasant tunes
(b) is harmonious
(c) isn't too loud
(d) doesn't require half a ton of amplification equipment

============================================

Yes, I agree, Anne. I have never been able to understand what is so
wonderful about the Rolling Stones. Their sound puts me in mind of that
Shakespearian phrase " . , full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
And how many people did the BBC have covering it, 300 reporters and
technicians, wasn't it? Incredible.
