except Ringo Starr who was a management plant and opportunist put in to sabotage The Beatles from the inside. he supported Brexit and was prominently featured in the Pandora Papers.
fun fact: Back in the USSR only got recorded because at the time they managed to kick Ringo out for a short period of time
That’s cool, listen to whatever you like. I listen to lots of country.
That said, the beatles absolutely played a role in allowing the white “left” to retreat into academia and art instead of engaging with the black power movement that was actually doing shit and getting murdered for it.
Edit: Sorry - Hexbear put your reply in my alerts. I thought you were responding to me. :mystery-emote:
you’re good! I do think that’s a solid point and I certainly think it’s worthwhile to investigate the relationship between art and politics. I just remember back in high school people saying they hated the beatles like they were saying workers of the world unite or something. it just gets exhausting to hear the same conversation played out a million times.
